How to Start a Chapter

  1. Find one other person in your area who would be willing to support you in the early stages of your chapter.

  2. Create your one month plan.

  3. Fill out the Chapter Registration Form

  4. Wait for a response from the SST executive team. If your location already has an SST Chapter, we encourage you to apply as a team member!

  5. SST will email you and set up a meeting to go over the Chapter guidelines and help you set up a channel in our Discord server and go over some basic plans regarding your next steps. 

  6. Create and send the login details to both an Instagram and Google Account to the SST leadership team. 

  7. Done! At this point, you should start outreaching and have gathered a solid leadership team for your STT Chapter.
