You Belong Here
There is a place for you in STEM, where you can show up exactly as you are — Where your identities are affirmed as your strength, your roots are nurtured, not dismissed, and where diversity, equity, and inclusion are the priority, not an assimilation to the majority. Becoming a SACNAS member is an invitation to bring your whole self to the STEM field. Join our national and inclusive network of more than 8,200 innovative, powerful, and transformative SACNAS members from all over the United States!
Our memberships begin for students at the undergraduate level and serve every stage of your education and career, no matter what path you take. If you are a high school student or younger, we encourage you to follow SACNAS channels and keep up your interest in STEM!

Our name is a testament to our founding during the Chicano and American Indian civil rights movements. Everyone is welcome to become a SACNAS member, regardless of gender identity and expression, age, sexual orientation, physical or mental disability, race, national origin or ancestry, ethnicity, or religion (including the lack thereof or religious dress and grooming).
Please note: Dues are listed in cost per year, and memberships will renew automatically on your anniversary date. You will receive a notification to remind you when your renewal is coming up. If at any point you need to pause your paid membership, we have a free, limited option available!
