The Center for American Archeology has been encouraging the public to pursue their past! For over 50 years, this group of archeologists have been encouraging others to explore their surroundings. They have a specific program geared towards female archeologists and internships for college students. They want to expand their field through diversity and awareness.
Although the layout is somewhat boring (and it looks like it was low budget), their goal is admirable. I also think they are effectively following their mission statement:
"The Center for American Archeology pursues a mission of education, research and public service in archeology. Its purpose is to discover and disseminate the unwritten story of earlier Americans' lifeways, accomplishments and changing natural environment. The Center fulfills this mission by supporting integrated programs of archeological investigation, educational outreach and cultural stewardship."
This website engages archeologists and the general public alike.
