Share Your Expertise. Shape the Future.
Join the excitement of Formula SAE®, the world’s leading educational motorsport competition organized by SAE International! Each year, university teams from around the globe design, build, and race small formula-style cars — and they need your experience to help them succeed.
As a Formula SAE Volunteer, you’ll work alongside students, industry professionals, and fellow enthusiasts — mentoring, judging, and supporting the next generation of engineers while enjoying the thrill of competition firsthand.
For the 2026 season, both events will be held in Brooklyn, Michigan:

Code of Conduct
All SAE Volunteers are expected to uphold the highest standards for professional conduct while volunteering for an SAE Program. Volunteers must treat all participants with courtesy, respect, and dignity. Volunteers are responsible for modeling professional conduct and for cultivating a respectful and inclusive program.
To foster a just and safe community unprofessional behavior, including that which is intimidating, threatening, violent, inappropriate, illegal, or dishonest, will be addressed by promoting accountability and following up with any actions necessary. Unprofessional behavior may result in the removal of volunteers from the program indefinitely.
