The Society for Science Advocate Program is a year-long professional development program that supports teachers and mentors who are working to increase the number of students from traditionally underrepresented races/ethnicities and low-income households who enter STEM research competitions. The Advocates receive training and support from Society staff, mentorship from the Lead Advocate, a $3,000 stipend, and an all-expense-paid trip to attend the Advocate Training Institute in Washington, D.C. Advocates must be 21 years or older and be employed by a school, university, organization or corporation. Open to individuals living and working in the U.S. and U.S. Territories.
