Our outreach programs are focused on connecting the science of JINA with all audiences, as well as providing opportunities for meaningful collaboration whenever possible. Our goals include contributing to science education at K-12 level, enhancing understanding and appreciation of science by engaging the imagination of the public (especially through use of the Internet), and increasing diversity in the field of nuclear astrophysics.

All, regardless of race or class or economic status, are entitled to a fair chance and to the tools for developing their individual powers of mind and spirit to the utmost. This promise means that all children by virtue of their own efforts, competently guided, can hope to attain the mature and informed judgment needed to secure gainful employment and to manage their own lives, thereby serving not only their own interests but also the progress of society itself....
