Community Involvement

SciComm has a strong commitment to the community. SciComm employees, with the support of SciComm, are volunteers for several communities activities. Highlights of these activities are as follows:

Montgomery County Hazardous Household Pickup Program

SciComm staff members serve as volunteers to the Montgomery County Hazardous Household Pickup Program. Through this program, Montgomery County controls the disposal of hazardous household material, such as oil-based paint, lead batteries, and hazardous automobile fluids.

NIH Children's Inn

SciComm staff members make a voluntary annual donation to the NIH Children's Inn. The total staff contribution is then matched by SciComm, dollar-for-dollar. Through this program, NIH provides a family-type environment to children with unusual diseases.
