Create Science Outreach Events for ADULTS

Open Opportunity

About

Illinois Science Council ("ISC") is a volunteer-driven nonprofit that engages, educates, and entertains the ADULT public about science and technology in our everyday lives. ISC serves as the adult complement to K-12 STEM outreach programs and we do it with a fun, non-stuffy approach through:  author talks; film screenings; topical talks; tours; hands-on chemistry (Chemistry of... beer, whiskey, chocolate, coffee, etc.); a Pi Day Pi K 3.14 mile fun run on March 14; and, the Chicago Science Festival in May. We have ongoing volunteer opportunities to help grow the foundation of our organization to support marketing, fundraising, and program development. We’ve adapted to virtual operations for COVID restrictions since 2020. 

Opportunities:  We have several project areas needing volunteers to grow ISC and our programs. Everything can be done remotely; 1-2 hours/week max.
(1) Learn and implement Google Analytics/Google Ads marketing for science outreach programs;
(2) Help plan, research, and execute events;
(3) Improve and update our website (Wordpress) and social media presence;
(4) Promotion of events - digital, social media, public relations, guerrilla marketing, etc.;
(5) Learn LinkedIn for Nonprofits or YouTube for Nonprofits then develop our presence there;
(6) Write, edit, promote articles for ISC’s blog “Science Unsealed.”
We’re always open to new ideas and you’re welcome to sit in our monthly Associates meetings on Zoom to check us out.
