Overview of ECIG

The purpose of the ECIG is to support early career SCRA members from graduate school students up to ten years after graduation, working in academy, practice, or practice/academy integration, as community researchers, practitioners, scholars, faculty, advocates, and activists, etc. in community psychology and/or related community-focused fields. We also welcome undergraduate students interested in learning future pathways to early career development.

The primary goals of this interest group are to:

  1. Maintain a socially supportive early career community
  2. Support early career professional development through mentorship, research collaborations, professional development offerings, and publication opportunities
  3. Identify opportunities for early career professionals to contribute to ECIG projects, hold ECIG leadership positions, and support the SCRA community
  4. Promote recognition of early career professional accomplishments, social justice advocacy, and community contributions
