Society for Science is committed to expanding access to high-quality STEM education for all students. Increasing STEM literacy empowers students with the critical thinking and decision-making skills necessary to live healthy, civically engaged and economically productive lives.

The Society created the Advocate Program to provide mentors to encourage all students to enter their projects in science research competitions. The Advocates receive training and support from Society staff, a $3,000 stipend and a paid trip to Washington, D.C., to meet in person at a weekend-long convening.

The Board of Trustees provides leadership and guidance to Society for Science. Board members are volunteers selected based on their dedicated commitment to science, education and the Society’s mission of informing, educating and inspiring.
