There are many ways to get involved with ChemTalk, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, including volunteering, internships, or by simply subscribing to our newsletter. ChemTalk has an educational internship and volunteer program that over 60 students and professionals have participated in.
ChemTalk is looking for students, teachers, professors, scientists, and hobbyists who are passionate about chemistry. You can help at many different levels – by providing photos, video, or articles, being a fact-checker, joining our advisor team, joining the board of directors, or helping with marketing or social media.
