Chapter Starting Guide & FAQ

Once you complete the chapter interest form, you attend a scheduled orientation with us which discusses your responsibilities among other things. After attending the scheduled orientation you can create an Instagram account and continue as a chapter leader from there.

As a chapter founder responsibilities include organizing events, social media, and maintaining leadership. You host fundraisers like restaurant partnerships to raise money. Additionally, you can do origami workshops, where participants learn and donate their creations, or set up drives for donated origami. Managing your chapter's Instagram is also regularly posting content like origami tuts and updates. These efforts are recognized through service awards, and US residents can get the PVSA.

Totally! We’ve had many chapters in the past which are just different clubs (AAPI, Origami, Asian culture, Japanese, etc). Additionally, you can organize origami workshops, which can be both in-person and online, where participants learn and donate their creations, or set up collection drives for donated origami pieces.

This has been a very frequent question asked among our chapter founders. So far we decided that it is up to the chapter founder. Various chapters and what we prefer is to make their own form and take care of their volunteers from there. if volunteers need to request service hours and have registered under a form you make, you can optionally make your own form for requesting service hours as well. If your chapter is in the US and your volunteers are eligible for the PVSA, just let us know 💝

The chapter founder is given a monthly journal that they have the update whenever they complete a service activity related to their chapter. We add these hours up and put the total hours on the chapter completion certificate.
