Volunteer with The Societies

Showcase your leadership experience

Volunteering isn’t just about giving back: it’s an opportunity to grow, network, and influence the future of our field. Find a way to get involved today.

New: Find your Mentor Match

The Societies’ new Mentor Match program is a virtual, structured opportunity to connect with members across ASA, CSSA, and SSSA. 

Whether you are an early-career professional looking for guidance or an established leader ready to give back, Mentor Match fosters the professional growth that keeps our fields thriving.

April 15 is the deadline to register as a mentor or mentee, and April 30 is the deadline to make matches.

Join a committee 

Member volunteers are the backbone of our society. We rely on member engagement to drive innovation and move change forward. Our members—working together—advance the visions and missions of the Societies by developing and recommending policy, providing advice on editorial issues, awards decisions, and assisting in building a more dynamic and member-focused Societies. 

Our 20226 call for committee volunteers will begin April 21. Stay tuned!

Join an editorial board

The Societies publish thirteen peer-reviewed journals. The editorial boards uphold the editorial standards of our Societies and the peer review process by shepherding papers through the peer review process.

Most editorial board positions serve up to two consecutive three-year terms. If you are interested in becoming an editorial board member, please click the button below.

Become a peer reviewer

Peer review is the cornerstone of scholarly publication. Reviewers evaluate submissions fairly, rapidly, and confidentially for innovation and novel results. We welcome reviewers from all over the world and authors often return the service of peer reviewers by providing their time and expertise as a reviewer.
