Volunteer With Us

The Metro Birmingham Children’s Business Fair welcomes volunteers who want to help young people explore entrepreneurship, develop new skills, and build confidence.

There are many ways to contribute, whether you have experience in business, marketing, education, finance, event planning, or simply enjoy encouraging young people. Volunteers may assist with workshops, help prepare for business fairs, mentor young entrepreneurs, or support event-day activities.

We welcome people with different backgrounds, experiences, and skill sets. What matters most is a willingness to share your time, support young people, and help create meaningful opportunities for the next generation of entrepreneurs.

Volunteer Screening and Background Check Requirement

Because Metro Birmingham Children’s Business Fair works directly with children, applicants selected to serve as volunteers will be required to complete a criminal background check before participating in activities involving children. The selected volunteer will be responsible for the cost of the background check and will receive instructions for completing the screening. Providing a Facebook profile or other social media information allows MBCBF to conduct a preliminary review as part of the application process. This review does not replace the formal background check or determine volunteer eligibility on its own. Submission of an application does not guarantee acceptance as a volunteer.
