STARTING A JUNIOR STATE CHAPTER

Step Three: Get approval from your administration

Talk with your principal and director of student activities. Get their approval for the proposed chapter as an extra-curricular activity. Administrators who understand the value a Junior State chapter has to the entire campus community are strong supporters of the organization and can be very helpful in the initial stages of the chapter's development.

Become familiar with school policies, rules, and procedures — you'll need approvals, possibly equipment, a place to meet and probably forms that need to filled out. On most campuses, new clubs must submit their chapter constitution for student government approval.
