| Who can volunteer? |
We encourage all UMBC students, staff, and community members over the age of 16 in the Baltimore area to help us make Computer Mania Day a successful event. |
| Why should I volunteer? |
Volunteering for Computer Mania Day is a wonderful way to show your support for the Baltimore community. Not only will you be representing your school or company, you will be making a strong impact on many young girls' and boys' lives by helping to expose them to technology and opening their eyes to advanced career choices.
For high school students, volunteering for this event looks great for colleges and scholarships. For college students and company representatives, Computer Mania Day is an excellent networking opportunity.
All Computer Mania Day volunteers are eligible for community service hours. There will be plenty of free stuff available for anyone who participates, and plus, it's a whole lot of FUN!!!

| What are my responsibilities as a volunteer? |
