Get Involved With Illinois Science Council
Your talents. Your passion. A shared mission of bringing science to our community.
What You Can Do
The Science of Ideas
Imagine working with interesting people to find cool speakers, host fun and interesting events, and bring the importance of science to adults.
That’s what you can do when you volunteer with ISC. We’re looking for people of all ages and all walks of life to help us plan and execute our vision.
Science is the idea that ideas can change the world. We’re looking for self-motivated people who are driven by the same exciting thought. We think you’re going to like being part of us.
Who You Are
Creative. Curious. Committed.
Some of us work in science. Some of us work in marketing. Some of us are retired or just starting out in the workplace. But what do we all have in common?
We know science is important. We know it’s fun. And we want to make science part of our shared culture and community.
The best part? There’s no limit to what you can do. If you have an idea, we want to hear it. This is a volunteer-led organization. Your passion is our shared future.
“I have never worked in science before, but I always wanted to be a part of it. At ISC, I’m able to use my skills to further the mission. I’m able to learn from other people. And I’ve been able to expand my talents.”
