Silicon Valley Odyssey of the Mind is an all-volunteer organization. As such, every position is filled with dedicated volunteers who do it because they believe in it! If you are interested, please contact us at This e-mail address is being protected from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it to inquire.

We have/need the following volunteer positions:

1. Regional Director (currently, Barbara Han and Barbara Krishnan)
2. Problem 1 Captain (currently, Mollie Wertman)
3. Problem 2 Captain (currently, Kal Krishnan)
4. Problem 3 Captain (currently, Dan Lesieutre)
5. Problem 4 Captain (currently, Barbara Han)
6. Problem 5 Captain (currently, Henry Lin & Robin Williams)
7. Spontaneous Problem Captain (currently, Manya Sleeper & Scott Meyer)
8. Tournament Director (currently, Barbara Han and Barbara Krishnan)
9. Score Room co-ordinator (currently, Lock Han)
10. Secretary (currently, Arlene Bertellotti)
11. Treasurer (currently, Sunil Dhar)
12. Webmaster (currently, Kal Krishnan)
13. Hospitality co-ordinator (led by Barbara Han, with other volunteers)

In addition, we have a number of people that are volunteer Judges (non-affiliated with any team). We also have a number of tournament day volunteers (also, not affiliated).

WE NEED LOTS OF HELP TO KEEP THE ORGANIZATION GOING! Please consider volunteering for any of the above positions so we can continue the work of educating the children through this creative medium. As you can see, many of us wear multiple hats, and would appreciate additional help. THANKS TO ALL THE VOLUNTEERS!

Volunteering is another wonderful way to give a bit of your time for great benefit to the kids! While judging is a 2-day commitment, volunteering can be as little as a 2-hour commitment, so it is more suitable if you are too busy to be a judge.

The Silicon Valley region requires each team to designate at least one volunteer. For the first couple of years, when the tournament size will be small, we would need to have more than one volunteer per team to fill all positions fully, so extra volunteers would be appreciated!

Volunteering is just a 2-hour commitment - either on the night before the tournament to help set-up, or on the day of the tournament to help run it. So, on tournament day, you WILL be able to watch your affiliated team perform. ALSO NOTE THAT ALL VOLUNTEERS MUST BE AT LEAST OF HIGH SCHOOL AGE OR ADULTS.

To become an Odyssey of the Mind volunteer, you need to follow these steps:

1. Sign up using this link.
   
2. Show up on tournament day (or the night before), as instructed by the problem captain, and have fun volunteering!
