Each of our competitions lasts only a brief period, but their impact lasts a lifetime — and so can your involvement with Society for Science. We are proud to offer a robust slate of resources and events to our impressive alumni community, including local networking meet-ups, Q&As with STEM luminaries, our online alumni network, and opportunities for mentorship and volunteering.

Society for Science is always looking for volunteers to support our STEM competitions and other programs. Explore the ways you can contribute your time to supporting the next generation of innovators.

The Honorary Board is made up of distinguished scientists, engineers, entrepreneurs and innovators who are recognized leaders in their field. The Honorary Board provides Society for Science with strategic guidance and input on scientific issues of importance to the Society.
