Become A Volunteer and Make A Difference Today!
For SUN ‘n FUN and the Aerospace Center for Excellence (ACE) our success depends on the passion of volunteers to share their experience, skills and abilities of all kinds. What began as a small gathering of pilots over four decades ago, SUN ‘n FUN has dramatically grown, hosting events year-round on our Expo Campus with proceeds benefiting ACE. Due in large part to the dedication of our volunteers, ACE has emerged as a nationally recognized leader in STEM-related and aerospace education through our various learning centers, outreach programs, summer camps and scholarships aimed at preparing students for tomorrow’s aerospace challenges.
SUN ‘n FUN Aerospace Expo/Fly-In Volunteer – Join the team of 3,500 volunteers that ensure the annual SUN ‘n FUN Aerospace Expo is a fundraising success.
EarlyBird Volunteer – EarlyBird volunteers commit to living on our SUN ‘n FUN Expo Campus each January and stay through a week after the SUN ‘n FUN Aerospace Expo. These hours may change during what we call “Crunch Time” which is a month before the Expo. Our EarlyBirds’ primary function is to help prepare the site, facilities and operations for the Expo.
YearlyBird Volunteer – If you are local to the SUN ‘n FUN Expo Campus and would like to volunteer with us year-round, our “Yearly Birds” volunteer program has plenty of opportunities for you. With onsite and community events throughout the year, work options vary with each unique activity available.
You Don’t Need to be a Jet Pilot or Rocket Scientist to Make an Impact!
