START A CHAPTER IN YOUR SCHOOL/COLLAGE/UNIVERSITY
Each chapter needs students, an advisor, and support from school or organization administration. More than likely you already have the internal structure in place to add Kalam Foundation as a student club. Students, educators, and administrators work together to complete the paper work to get the program up and running. Here are some tips to help you get started.
Our chapter aims to create a platform where students can actively engage in meaningful projects, advocate for social justice, and make a tangible impact in our community and beyond. Join us as we strive to be a catalyst for change and create a better world through our dedicated efforts.
