MEMBERSHIP

Become a Founding Member today and help continue our success.

As a member, you will contribute to building the Society for the Study of Emerging Adulthood (SSEA), a non-profit organization dedicated to advancing the understanding of development in emerging adulthood (ages 18-29) through scholarship, education, training, policy, and practice.

Our History

Since 2003, SSEA has been at the forefront of emerging adulthood research. Supported by the field's preeminent researchers from around the world, the society has organized four international conferences and launched a scholarly journal. As we look toward continuing study in this under-researched field, the SSEA is developing new ways for scholars to exchange ideas, coordinate research, and find new opportunities.
