AstronomyOutreach network was founded in April 2000 by Scott W. Roberts to promote and support education and public outreach professionals (EPOs), outreach enthusiasts, organizations, lecturers, clubs, and events for public awareness of astronomy.

In 2003 an awards committee was formed with Dr. Michael D. Reynolds, Tippy D'Auria, and Dr. Stephen J. Edberg for the AstronomyOutreach Outreach Award to recognize individuals and organizations for exemplary achievements in awareness of astronomy to the public at large. The awards ceremony is held each year at the Winter Star Party in the Florida Keys.

The AstronomyOutreach network is an alliance organization of the Meade 4M Community who supports its outreach initiatives.
