The Explorers Club is a multidisciplinary society dedicated to the advancement of field research, scientific exploration and resource conservation. Headquartered in New York City with a community of Chapters around the world, The Explorers Club has been supporting scientific expeditions of all disciplines, and uniting our members in the bonds of good fellowship for over a century.
Members join a global network of explorers, scientists, researchers, conservationists and storytellers from around the world. Members gain access to members only events like ECAD weekend (Explorers Club Annual Dinner) meet up every April when members from around the world come together at the New York Club house for 3 days of talks, flag returns, parties and meeting. Many expeditions have been hatched this weekend.
Members can also nominate other members as well as non members for EC50 consideration - individuals are exploring, inspiring, and creating the future—the future of the planet, life upon it, and the boundless possibilities that await us all. Members can join the NGEN community, apply for grants, and join the club mentorship program. And attend World Oceans Week every June and Climate Week every September at the clubhouse.
New England Chapter of The Explorers Club is one of the largest chapters globally with a membership deeply involved in the leadership of NGEN, World Oceans Week, and Climate Week. New England is also wonderfully positioned for adventure, exploration, education and conservation. Many of our talks and events are open to the public. Please check out our events page. We hope you will join us!
