The American Chemical Society has over 200,000 individuals in our global membership community, including both members and community associates. Our community includes experienced and early-career professionals working in a wide array of fields, as well as students and retirees. For our society to have the most influence, ACS must nurture and maintain this diverse membership by leveraging members' backgrounds, perspectives, and talents and engaging them in meaningful ways in high-impact activities. An individual member can contribute to ACS activities in many ways. ACS student members often have their first volunteer opportunities within one of the ACS Student Communities , which include US and international student chapters and graduate student organizations. Other ACS members find connection, networking, and volunteer opportunities in their local sections , technical divisions , or international chemical sciences chapters . And K-12 teachers are active participants in the American Association of Chemistry Teachers (AACT). Interested in contributing
