Hello GGSO Community,
We are hosting our 11th annual GGSO Invitational at UC Berkeley on Sunday, January 31st, 2027! We are releasing our involvement form today, in which you can apply to be an Event Supervisor, Test Committee member, or general volunteer. Please note that these roles are only available to students who have graduated from high school. You can find the Involvement Form Application here.
If you have prior Science Olympiad experience, consider applying to be an Event Supervisor (ES) or Test Committee (TC) member. Event Supervisors are responsible for writing the tests and supervising competitors on tournament day, while Test Committee members evaluate test drafts prior to tournament day. If you intend to apply to be an ES/TC, the deadline is October 2nd, 2026, at 11:59 PM PT.
No prior experience is required to be a general volunteer! General volunteers help the day run smoothly by assisting with grading exams, setting up, monitoring students, and other day-of activities. If you intend to apply to be a general volunteer only, the deadline is December 4th, 2026, at 11:59 PM PT.
As an added plus, all in-person volunteers will receive a free GGSO t-shirt, guaranteed transportation to and from the UC Berkeley campus on tournament day (for Stanford students), all-you-can-eat snacks (while supplies last), and free lunch! Even more reason to get involved and help our tournament be a success.
Thank you all for your continued interest in running our tournament. Don’t hesitate to contact us with any questions!
Golden Gate Science Olympiad is run by Golden Gate Science League, a California 501(c)(3) nonprofit.
