Astronomy outreach enthusiasts come from all walks of life. Some of us are involved in formal education and public outreach programs and actually make our living interpreting the universe for the public, while many of us engage the public as amateurs.
Unless you have actively participated in an outreach event, one would think that it is a selfless act, however you'll quickly learn it is a selfish activity.
Get involved today and learn how deeply gratifying it is to share the universe. The members of the AstronomyOutreach network will encourage you to start your journey, and be your guide as you make your way.
