SPREAD YOUR PASSION

Every year our organization engages in multiple volunteer opportunities including: reviewing science fair submissions and giving financial rewards to children with impressive projects, hosting a paleontology booth at local public learning events, and presenting small grants to local scientific organizations!

JOIN THE BOARD

The SoCal Paleo Board of Directors is made up of volunteers just like you! Roles are elected at the beginning of every year and include: the President who leads our meetings, the Vice President who books lecturers, the Secretary who takes notes on each meeting's proceedings, the Treasurer who collects dues, the Federation Director who keeps up with Paleo-related events, and more!
