Start a CareKit Community Chapter and empower your peers to make a meaningful impact in your community.
Establishing a Chapter is similar to starting a school club, but it’s not limited to schools—you can also create a Chapter within a community organization, regional area, or among a group of friends. The key difference is that by starting a CareKit Community Chapter, you’ll become part of our larger network of volunteers and a branch of our nonprofit organization.

For School-Based Chapters:
Please make sure to introduce the idea to your school leadership or club advisor and receive verbal approval.
