ABOUT THE WORKING GROUP:
The purpose of the CitSciMonth working group is to provide resources for Citizen Science Association members and citizen science practitioners to celebrate and promote all things citizen science-related at their organizations. The work of the Citizen Science Month Working Group is done in collaboration with SciStarter and the Citizen Science Association. The working group will meet monthly, support webinars for practitioners to prepare for April, and then celebrate during the actual month (April 2021). We also ask working group members to engage in conversations about accessibility in citizen science and during Citizen Science Month, as well as ways to contribute to evaluation/assessment during the month.
