Start a ChemClub at Your School! The mission of the ACS-Sponsored High School Chemistry Clubs is to invite, motivate and encourage high school students who are fascinated by the many ways that chemistry connects to their world. With the assistance of the ACS Office of High School Chemistry, these clubs are designed to provide fun, authentic, and hands-on opportunities for its members to experience chemistry beyond what is taught in the classroom, learn about education and career opportunities in the many and varied fields of chemistry, and provide service for the betterment of their communities. This session will demystify the process of starting a high school chemistry club and describe the ChemClub resources available through the ACS Office of High School Chemistry. Sample materials will be provided.
