This year’s Chapter Founders Selection Process is complete! When the dust settled on April 11th, 67 students from 25 colleges and universities had applied to start Nourish Chapters on their campus. After a rigorous review process, we selected 31 of them from 19 different universities to found Chapters on their campus.

These students will receive $500 in seed money, professional training at the Summer Institute and support throughout the year as they found an organization on their campus capable of investing thousands of dollars a year in sustainable, anti-poverty projects.

We couldn’t be more excited to work with these students — even our team was impressed by their individual talents, enthusiasm and passion for supporting local poverty solutions. Check out the full list of Founders by institution after the jump and keep an eye out for those names this year — we expect great things!

Note: If you’re interested in supporting a team of energetic and talented students at one of the campuses below, please send an email to info@nourishinternaitonal.org.

Funding and implementing a sustainable development project is no easy task.  Motivating your peers on a college campus to do it can be even harder.  Last year, we held a Leadership Development Conference to better prepare our Chapter Leaders for the challenges that lay ahead of them.  It was fun, so this year we decided to do it again — but not before we made some changes.

This years Summer Institute, which will run August 8-12, will be a souped up version of last year’s LDC.  With more time to work with, we’ll be going into even more detail about how to run a chapter and the history of global development - not to mention, more inspirational speakers and more time to network.
