  2. Being Invited to Join the NSLS

My school does not have a chapter. How do I join?

If your school does not have a chapter of the NSLS, there are two paths to join, tailored to different preferences and goals:

Join the National Online Chapter:

Students can join the vibrant online community by self-nominating for membership. This online program offers the flexibility to engage with a comprehensive leadership curriculum at one's own pace. To get started, students visit the nomination application page. They will then submit a nomination request to three faculty members who can vouch for their leadership potential.

Start a Chapter at Your School:

If the online chapter is not the right fit, students passionate about leading this initiative can visit the NSLS Internships page to express their interest in starting a local chapter and apply to be a Student President. The internship program offers invaluable experience in leadership development and organizational management, along with the opportunity to earn a paid internship.

For administrators interested in starting a chapter on their campus, they can visit the Start a Chapter page for more information and to help create a dynamic leadership community on campus

Whichever path is chosen, embarking on this journey with the NSLS promises exciting opportunities for personal and professional growth. The NSLS is committed to supporting members every step of the way.

For any questions or further assistance, individuals are encouraged to reach out to our Member Experience team, who are ready to help maximize the NSLS experience.
