Hello Geology Club Tee-Off 2025 participants!
We’re excited to introduce ourselves as your main points of contact at The Geological Society of America (GSA) for all things related to Geology Clubs! Whether you’re looking to grow your community and connect with other clubs, starting a new club, or seeking guidance to help your club succeed, we’re here to support you!

We’re here to help! You can always reach us at GeoClub@..., but we encourage you to post or contact us in this Community Site when possible, it helps other clubs benefit from shared questions and answers too.
We are looking forward to hearing from you, and thank you for participating in this year’s events!
Coming soon: updates about upcoming events at GSA, travel opportunities and some resources to get the ball rolling!
