Is your community documentation a mess? Do your members know where to go to look for technical help? How about your teammates? If any of these questions give you pause, maybe it’s time you considered creating a community or team playbook! www.cscce.org/trainings/pbk/

Most recently, we trained a group of scientific open-source leaders in creating playbooks, the impact of which you can read about on the CSCCE blog: www.cscce.org/2026/05/26/t...

We’re also in the online classroom this week with our current cohort of Content Design (CODE) - which explores how to create and share community-engaged content (with a focus on STEM communities) [https://www.cscce.org/trainings/code/ ]

For participants in our current cohort of Content Design (CODE), this week we’re talking about the informational roles of community-engaged content.

This week in CEF, we’re introducing the CSCCE Community Participation Model: www.cscce.org/resources/cpm/

So far, we’ve introduced the CSCCE Skills Wheel and how individuals and teams can use it to define roles, create job descriptions, and more: doi.org/10.5281/zeno...

She’ll be joined by her longtime colleagues in the program Pooneh Sabouri, who also graduates this quarter!

The book club will be led by @jpeters7.bsky.social, who is graduating this week from the CSCCE Community Manager Certification Program!

Curtis Sharma, currently supporting engagement and communications for ReSA, noted that on top of everything he learned in the program, he’s grateful for the community of fellow participants.

Johanssen Obanda, Community Manager for Crossref’s ambassador program, manages a global community, and through his time in the program he’s focused on understanding how he can better support distributed volunteers.

Zoë Leanza, Communications Manager at Sage Bionetworks, also focuses a lot of her time on comms and content in her community, and is looking forward to expanding her staff team next year.

Allie Lau, Public Engagement Senior Programs Manager at the American Physical Society, took a particular interest in co-creating community events, activities, and resources during her time in the program.

Yan-Kay Ho, Project/Community Manager for Open Bioeconomy Lab & Reclone, also shared how community and project management can go hand-in-hand, and has recently been working to finalize a new playbook for her team.

Sophie Bui, Community Manager at the National Center for Supercomputing Applications, recently completed her training with Nurturing Online Communities (NOC), and shared her Project Management knowledge during her QSS.

Rieley Auger, Program Coordinator for the Global Land Programme, joined the program in June of 2024, quickly completing her required courses and then focusing her electives on coordinating a large, international community of volunteers.

And Zach, Community Manager at the Open Molecular Software Foundation, continues to champion the value of being part of the CSCCE community - “It’s as if you are bowling with bumpers!”

Lena, Community Coordinator TDCC Natural & Engineering Sciences at TU Delft, has been a longtime learner with CSCCE - and may have set a record for taking our trainings the first time we offered them!

CEF is our foundational training. Almost 400 community managers have taking the course, and what they learned is making a difference in hundreds of communities and organizations around the world: doi.org/10.5281/zeno...

We’re delighted to be celebrating Erin and Miriam’s achievements, and to recognize their completion of the trainings they’re already received a digital badge, a certificate, and there’s a surprise in the mail!

From July onwards, the cost of our Mini-workhops increases slightly, from $150 to $175. The is the first time we’ve increased our Mini-workshop prices since we began offering them in 2023 - and we maintain our accessibility fund for those who need a discount: www.cscce.org/trainings/cs...

There are still a few spots available in our Project Management for Scientists “bootcamp”! This new CSCCE training will run for three weeks, starting Monday, 31 March, and is perfect for anyone coordinating complex STEM projects.

You’ll leave the bootcamp with a strong sense of how to address your current project management context using a Project Canvas template and worksheets. And everyone who completes the training receives a digital badge to showcase their new skills.
