Of Interest: NEW Membership PROGRAM (JOIN TODAY!)As of 2021, the National Center for Science and Civic Engagement is an independent 501c3 organization, eligible to accept tax deductible donations and gifts. All NCSCE and SENCER programs will continue to be available to everyone, not just members. However, as part of our new independent organizational structure, we are launching a member-donor program in order to identify our most active participants, provide more responsive networking, program, and leaderships development, and better serve the specific professional development needs of SENCER practitioners. Basic membership is only 50.00 a year, and members receive reduced rates for meetings and workshops with fees, access to member-only networking sites (which will appear on the site menu after you join), and are eligible for leadership roles within the organization. Your donor memberships will support our ongoing Institutes and symposia, topical webinars, and the peer-reviewed journal Science Education and Civic Engagement (SECEIJ), as well as more individualized academic mentoring, networking, and project development. |
