Start a Chapter
Bring Assistance League to your community.
You see a need. You have the people. We have the playbook.
Communities across the country still do not have an Assistance League chapter. If you and a group of committed neighbors believe one is needed where you live, we want to talk to you.
Starting a new chapter is significant work. It requires a founding group, a clear understanding of local needs, the willingness to build governance and programs from the ground up, and the commitment to navigate the affiliation process.
In return, you become part of a national organization with more than 100 years of history, a recognized brand, proven program models, governance support, training resources, and a national network of peer chapter leaders who share their experience and expertise.
