Statewide hubs. School-local chapters.

Your school.
Your voice.
Your chapter.

Chapters are free, student-led groups based in individual schools. Each local chapter connects to either the statewide Texas Hub or statewide New York Hub.

The structure

A hub is statewide.
A chapter is school-local.

Hubs share statewide resources, relationships, and strategy. Chapters focus that support on the needs students identify within their own school.

Statewide

Texas Hub

Serves youth and school chapters across the state of Texas.

Statewide

New York Hub

Serves youth and school chapters across the state of New York.

Built for action

Small group.

There is no fee and no perfect-size team. A chapter begins with a real need, a few committed peers, and the belief that students can improve the systems around them.
