Chapters
Bring Initiate Collective to your community.
Become a Chapter President
Initiate Collective is expanding across Canada — and chapters are how we get there. As a Chapter President, you'll lead Impact Days in your city, recruit local volunteers, and represent Initiate in your community.
No prior experience required. We provide full support, resources, and guidance to help you run a successful event from start to finish.
Start turning your community into a place where students show up for each other.
How it works
Start an Impact Day in Your City
Three steps to bring Initiate to your community.
1
Apply to Lead
Start with your community
Fill out the chapter application. Tell us about yourself, your city, and why you want to lead an Initiate chapter.
2
Plan Your Event
Choose your initiative
Work with the Initiate team to plan your first Impact Day — whether that's a clean-up, a drive, or something unique to your community.
3
Show Up
Lead and make it happen
Recruit volunteers, run your event, document the impact, and earn volunteer hours. You're now part of a growing national network.
Why Start a Chapter?
Build real leadership experience
Leading a chapter demonstrates genuine community impact — exactly what colleges, scholarships, and employers are looking for.
Join a national network
Connect with other chapter presidents and student leaders across Canada working toward the same goal.
Earn verified volunteer hours
All chapter presidents receive official volunteer hour certificates — logged, verified, and ready for any application.
Full support from our team
We help you plan, recruit, and document your impact. You won't be doing this alone.
