Interested in bringing BPA to your school or community? Starting a new chapter begins with identifying an advisor, connecting with your state association, and reviewing the membership and chapter setup requirements.

Your state association can help guide you through the next steps, including registration, deadlines, dues, and available resources for new chapters.

BPA state associations help support local chapters, advisors, students, events, and membership questions. If you need help with chapter setup, registration, conferences, competitions, or state-specific deadlines, your state advisor or state association is the best place to start.

Use the state contact resources provided on the BPA website to find the right person for your location.

Students typically join BPA through a local school or community chapter. If your school already has a BPA chapter, contact the chapter advisor to learn about membership, dues, meetings, and upcoming opportunities.

If your school does not currently have a chapter, you may be able to work with an educator or administrator to start one with support from your state association.
