Starting an ABSA chapter on your campus is a rewarding way to build a community of faith and leadership. Begin by reaching out to your university's student life office to understand the requirements for forming a new student organization. Then, contact our team to receive the 'Start Your Own ABSA Chapter' toolkit and official onboarding support.
Chapter membership renewal happens annually at the start of the fall semester. Your chapter's executive board will need to submit an updated roster and complete the annual renewal form provided by the ABSA Network. This ensures your chapter remains in good standing and continues to receive network benefits.
For any questions regarding your chapter, event planning, or general support, you can reach out to our Mission Director at missiondirector@absanetwork.com. Additionally, you can contact noor.alsaad@alkisafoundation.org for specific inquiries related to resources and partnerships.
