Training the Next Generation of Science Advocates
Voices for Science trains scientists to communicate the value and impact of Earth and space science to key decision makers, journalists, and public audiences. The program recruits scientists to participate in one of two tracks: policy or communications.
The Voices for Science program provides scientists interested in science communications and outreach with specialized training to hone their skills. Throughout the twelve-month program, participants work directly with AGU staff to conduct regular outreach activities with a variety of audiences in their local communities.
Due to internal capacity, we can only consider applications from scientists located in certain areas of the globe; these vary from the communications to policy track. Please read each application form for details.
