Volunteer Opportunities

If you're passionate about the emotional needs of gifted people, SENG has a committee than can use your time, skills, and knowledge.  Contact us for more information about volunteering in the following areas.

Continuing Education

SENG is developing continuing education courses to fill in the gaps about giftedness in the standard courses of study for mental and physical health professionals.  If you work with a professional community that can benefit from increased awareness of the unique needs of gifted people, we want to work with you!

Development

Raising money is a major component in keeping any non-profit corporation afloat and able to serve its community.  If you have experience and contacts in development circles, or if you or someone you know have an old or newfound interest in the social and emotional side of being gifted, and are someone we should meet — introduce yourself!  We'll be happy to talk about how we can work together.

Conferences

Do you work with a professional, educational, or community organization that wants to host a seminar, workshop, or conference about the affective side of giftedness, but doesn't quite know where to start?  Does your institution, business, or university have a special interest in adult giftedness, social and emotional research, or parenting gifted children?  SENG is actively seeking opportunities to partner with local organizations and existing conferences, and to bring SENG to communities across the United States.  We welcome inquiries about possible projects in keeping with our mission and vision.

Publications

Do you work in health services, education, or mental health?  And have you ever wanted a brochure to hand to a client or a colleague that explains some of the basic characteristics and unique needs of gifted patients, students or coworkers?  We at SENG know how you feel and are in the process of developing a series of brochures that can aid doctors, nurses, therapists, counselors, teachers and parents when dealing with gifted children and adults.  If you have ideas about what to include in such a publication or where they might most be needed, let us know!

Grants

SENG has suspended our grants programs until 2008 to focus funding on other priorities, but we include this information for those who want to be reviewers in the future!
 SENG is seeking professionals with expertise in the social and emotional aspects of giftedness and/or research methodology to be volunteer reviewers for Research Grants and for Speaker and Staff Development Grants. Interested individuals should submit an email of interest indicating specific areas of expertise in subject areas or research practices and interest with respect to reviewing specific types of grants (Research or Speaker and Staff Development). Attach a résumé of no more than 5 pages. Applicants will be contacted by a member of SENG's Grants Committee, via telephone or email, for a brief interview.
