Volunteer

Both the ARCS National Organization and the 15 regional ARCS chapters host activities and events throughout the year in support of ARCS Scholars.  Since 100% of all donations to Scholar awards go to Scholar Awards, our organization is supported by:

  • Chapter dues paid by our membership.
  • The generosity of individuals and corporate science philanthropy underwriters
  • The countless volunteer hours of women dedicated to strengthening US leadership in science, engineering and medical research.

Would you like to volunteer to  help advance science education in America?  Please contact National or contact your local ARCS Foundation chapter.
