About the ACS ChemClub
The ACS ChemClub is a high school chemistry club that provides students with a unique opportunity to experience chemistry beyond the classroom. There are over 200 clubs across the United States where students participate in after-school activities, get involved in community building, learn about chemistry careers, enjoy social events, and better understand how chemistry plays a role in our everyday lives.
Our students plan and enjoy a variety of chemistry-focused activities, including hearing invited speakers, performing demonstration for elementary school students, and helping to clean the environment through community projects!
How does ACS support your club?
ACS supports chartered clubs with fun and useful resources.
- Each club receives a handbook of information and resources for starting a club and conducting club activities.
- Themed resource packets are provided quarterly. We include experiments, demonstrations, tips, and suggestions for non-laboratory club activities.
- We help connect you to your ACS local section and nearby ACS Student college chapter to help support and plan club activities.
- The ChemClub Directory lists clubs in your area to help you others in the science community.
- Bonus items, such as t-shirts, copies of ChemMatters and the Journal of Chemical Education, are offered during the year, at no cost for active, chartered clubs.
