Volunteer With Us
Volunteers are central to everything we do at the AMT. Our strength lies in the expertise and dedication of our volunteers who support our many varied activities as educators, problem writers, and program leaders.
Some of the core volunteer roles at the AMT are to support the Competitions Problems Committees.
These committees are comprised of educators and mathematicians with a passion for and interest in mathematical or algorithmic problem-solving. The committees create content (problems and solutions) we use and publish for all our major competitions and enrichment activities. The content creators work closely with smaller groups of teachers and mathematicians who serve as moderators to review the content to make sure our problems are the best they can possibly be.
If you are interested in becoming a volunteer problem creator or moderator at the AMT, please contact us.
