How chapters work

The model is simple but strong.

Each chapter runs one Monthly Mission Day, keeps roles clear, follows safety fences, and tracks impact with shared scorecards.

Repeatable rhythm

Choose a mission type, plan for 4 weeks, execute, debrief, and schedule the next mission.

Safety + mentoring

Supervision ratios, incident checklists, and mentorship prompts protect youth and partners.

Measurement

Track service hours, outputs, and mentorship connections—then share sponsor-ready stories.
