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.

If selected, you will receive a follow-up email to schedule a brief chapter interview where we will discuss your goals, plans, and vision for your chapter.
For School-Based Chapters:
Please make sure to introduce the idea to your school leadership or club advisor and receive verbal approval.
For Regional Chapters:
You will need to have an adult advisor over the age of 18. This can be a parent, guardian, or trusted adult who will support your chapter, help with communication, and oversee activities as needed.
