The Sharing the Universe Project

Sharing the Universe Video Series: Outreach Training and Growing Your Astronomy Club	Astronomy Activities

The Night Sky Network Services benefit hundreds of astronomy clubs across the country.

Sharing the Universe is a joint project between the ASP and the Institute for Learning Innovation funded by the National Science Foundation's Informal Science Education division. The project is based on the fact that many amateur astronomers (often as members of astronomy clubs) regularly volunteer their time to share their knowledge, passion, and enjoyment of the sky. But even the most enthusiastic and energetic amateur can encounter difficulty when trying to establish or invigorate EPO initiatives in his or her astronomy club.

The Sharing the Universe project's objective is to research the culture of astronomy clubs and identify solutions to address the challenges to effective and sustained public outreach.
