STEAM for All School Chapters are volunteer clubs situated in high schools to bring the spirit of organized, effective volunteering to everyone. With the goal of broadening our impact, and making a more inclusive STEAM environment, STEAM for All will sustain our efforts to assist high-schoolers across the nation in the creation of these chapters. Chapters operate as independent, yet affiliated branches of STEAM for All which able to host events, recruit volunteers, and foster a spirit of STEAM-focused community service in their school.

Steps to Start a Chapter
1
Submit a start-up form
A successful chapter is rewarding and adds to your school community. If you meet the eligibility requirements (in the manual above), fill out the New Chapters Application Start-Up Form to begin. The deadline for the 2023-2024 school year has passed.
3
Get School Approval
Your new chapter must be approved as a school club by your school's administration or student body (ASB) before things become official. This process can vary and your Teacher Advisor can assist you. Note: Beginning earlier in the school year can expedite the approval process.
2
Find a Teacher Advisor
Your Teacher Advisor is your chapter’s mentor: they will serve to oversee weekend events, provide their classroom for weekly meetings, and will be your liaison to your school administration. Many chapters choose a science or math teacher, but any staff member can mentor.
4
Recruit students and host events
As an official STEAM for All chapter, you are expected to hold regular meetings. We have resources like posters and flyers to help you with promotion, and we will connect you with other STEAM for All students in leadership positions who’ll guide you as you get started.
