Why start a chapter?
Somewhere in your community, someone is silently struggling and doesn’t know where to get support. Your STAY chapter will provide your local area with donations to support your local inpatient centers, community events to spread awareness, and toolkits to directly educate and support your community. The best part is: you can shape your initiatives to your community. All you need to do is create a team and show your passion through your efforts. We’ll help you with the rest.
What you get
Every approved chapter receives a Chapter Starter Kit, which includes:
- Full branding guidelines (including your own chapter logo template)
- Social media templates
- Email templates
- Spreadsheet and planning templates
- And more!
In short: the tools and the playbook, so you can spend your energy on your community instead of reinventing the wheel.
