Passport chapters

Chapters of Passport to Change create third spaces for students to engage in mutual aid, mentoring, and organizing, so students can form a sense of belonging.

How to start a Passport to Change chapter

A chapter is a local part of Passport to Change. Begin with us—not with a public launch—so we can review the idea and approve the chapter together.

Request chapter approval first

Tell the national organization which campus you are at, who is organizing, what need you want to address, and what you hope the chapter will do. This inquiry begins the review process; it is not approval by itself.
