What is a Chapter?
Chapters describe a group of committed young people and at least one adult ally working together. Chapters provide Skill Development, Opportunities, and Outreach through ongoing partnerships at local sites.
 
Chapter Sites
Chapters provide FNL programs with interactive opportunities to promote youth-led ideas and youth decision making. Within a chapter, groups can take part in real community change that extends beyond the "chapter walls," beyond the school or site, and into the community at large. In a chapter, youth experience a sense of belonging to something larger than themselves and establish meaningful connections with peers and adults. Local chapter sites can be housed at a variety of places:

  • Schools
  • Community Centers
  • Churches
  • Juvenile Facilities
  • Recreation Centers
  • Youth Councils
  • Mentoring Programs
  • Youth Action Groups
  • Foster/Group Homes
 
Want to Start a Chapter?
To start a chapter, the first step is to contact Gabe Teran, the FNL Project Specialist with the Ventura County Office of Education.
