"Community Science Workshops: Beginning a National Movement" is an extension of a successful, NSF-funded project that created a network of community science centers in California. Green Mountain College has now taken this successful venture to a national level by working with partner organizations throughout the country to establish new Community Science Workshops (CSWs) in underserved communities. Once sites are selected, CSW directors participate in an intensive two-week training program. This is followed by visits by site mentors, annual meetings, and ongoing support through the Internet and other media, which contributes to the establishment and eventual sustainability of the centers. Each site partners with local, established museums, science centers and community-based nonprofit organizations to gain much needed assistance with exhibits and education programs. Community Science Workshops contain permanent exhibit space, a workshop area for student projects and classroom/storage space. They serve a variety of audiences through after school, family, school and summer science programs. National CSW locations include Miami, Houston, New Orleans, Boston, and Washington, D.C. A CSW program is also in development in Biloxi, MS. "

“社区科学工作坊：“开始一个全国运动”是一个成功的，国家科学基金会资助的项目，在加州创建了一个社区科学中心网络的延伸。绿色山学院现在已经采取了这一成功的企业到全国范围内与全国各地的伙伴组织合作，建立新的社区科学讲习班（CSW）在服务不足的社区。一旦选定地点，妇女地位委员会主任就参加为期两周的强化培训方案。随后，现场指导人员进行访问，举行年度会议，并通过互联网和其他媒体提供持续支持，这有助于中心的建立和最终的可持续性。每个站点都与当地的知名博物馆、科学中心和社区非营利组织合作，以获得展览和教育计划方面急需的援助。社区科学研讨会包含永久展览空间，学生项目和教室/存储空间的研讨会区域。他们通过课后、家庭、学校和暑期科学课程为各种观众服务。国家CSW地点包括迈阿密、休斯顿、新奥尔良、波士顿和华盛顿，华盛顿特区。
