How to start a MEDLIFE Student Chapter at your school
Starting a new MEDLIFE Chapter is one of the most valuable contributions you can make to MEDLIFE and the communities we serve. As chapter founder, you are responsible for all the subsequent aid delivered on Mobile Clinics from your chapter, as well as the fundraising efforts which deliver sustainable aid projects to communities through the MEDLIFE Fund. Starting a MEDLIFE Chapter means that you are bringing medicing, education, and development to thousands of families in Latin America for years to come.
The easiest way to start a chapter is to take advantage of our Be the One campaign -- when you recruit students from your school to attend a Mobile Clinic in Latin America you become eligible to participate on that Clinic for free! Sending a group of students on a Mobile Clinic together is a great way to jump start your new chapter.

A student who successfully starts a MEDLIFE chapter at their school will be eligible to receive a 100% discount on the Mobile Clinic participation fee. The general requirements for starting a chapter are as follows (these requirements will be elaborated upon by your Expansion Team representative):
--Host an introductory MEDLIFE chapter meeting at your school.
--Recruit students from your school to participate in a MEDLIFE Mobile Clinic in Latin America.
--Host your chapter's first fundraiser, the results of which will go toward MEDLIFE Fund community development projects.
--Apply to your school's administration to become an official on-campus club or organization.
It's really that simple! The success of new chapters depend entirely on your ability to spread enthusiasm for MEDLIFE's cause on your campus, encouraging fellow students to get involved and coordinating their efforts.
