Volunteers & Friends

Our outreach programming is supported by Cornell University, the Center for Radiophysics & Space Research, NASA and NSF research grants, and other grants and donations. If you are interested in supporting astronomy outreach programs or materials, or in volunteering to work with a classroom or afterschool program or youth group, please contact Nancy Schaff, the Education & Public Outreach Coordinator.

We are currently seeking support for Project ASTRO and Family ASTRO programs. Project ASTRO matches astronomers (including amateur astronomers) with classroom teachers in grades 4-9. There are four fun Family ASTRO kits designed to be used with kids and adults at a school family night or other setting with groups of kids and adults.
