YMF

ASCE's Civil Engineering Club™ initiative is an after school program that offers students an opportunity to learn more about the civil engineering field. In 2012, in an effort to bring this exciting opportunity to Philadelphia, the Philadelphia ASCE YMF started the first Civil Engineering Club (Civ-E Club) in Pennsylvania at Marian Anderson Neighborhood Academy, formerly known as Chester A. Arthur School. At the time, it was one of only 10 programs recognized nationally, and the only program catering to middle school (6th-8th grade) students.

To learn more about how this club was started, or to get involved, please contact email our Civ-E Club Co-Chairs, Nooraldean(Noor) Dabdoub & Emma Youngs (arthurciveclub@gmail.com).

The major goals of the club are to show local students the diversity within civil engineering, and to have all of the students understand that anyone can be an engineer if they want to be and are willing to work for it. Meetings typically feature a speaker giving a short presentation and answering any questions from the students, before leading a group activity that corresponds to the presentation material.

Please view the google sheet below for the available dates to volunteer and email our Civ-E Club Co-Chairs, Nooraldean(Noor) Dabdoub & Emma Youngs (arthurciveclub@gmail.com) to sign up!
