We think of the Society Pages as a place for social scientists to connect with public issues and audiences. Sociology’s professional organization, the American Sociological Association, has a new initiative to connect sociologists to other organizations in an exciting way. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Sociology Action Network (or <\/strong>SAN<\/a> ) will match<\/a> ASA members who are interested in volunteering their sociological expertise with not-for-profit organizations<\/a> in need of technical assistance. If you or your organization are intrigued by this possibility, the project is up and running so the time is now!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SAN volunteers<\/a> help organizations in many ways, including conducting needs assessments and program evaluations, reviewing technical reports, writing grants, and providing training.  In the process of helping a local organization achieve their goals, you will be helping to expand the public\u2019s understanding of sociology and its value to society. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sign up here<\/a> to become a SAN volunteer today. And\/or learn more about the initiative by coming to the SAN workshop<\/a> at the upcoming 2019 Annual Meetings in New York. (Full disclosure: Doug is on the advisory board and will be on the panel in August, and Chris was a member of the ASA council that approved the project). The more, the merrier — and the more meaningful use of your sociological knowledge and skills.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
