What Is a School the World Chapter?

A School the World Chapter is a student-led club that connects your school community to the mission of ending extreme poverty through education.

Chapters raise awareness about global education inequities, fundraise to support school construction and learning programs, and inspire others to become global citizens.

Whether you’re hosting an awareness event, fundraising for programs in Central America, or recruiting students for a service trip, your chapter plays a key role in advancing education for all.
