 Community 

3 Families 7 Students Minimum


We know that the success of a chapter depends on learning with a community, beginning with at least three families with seven students.

Your next step will be to identify the members.

First, you'll have a conversation with the families interested in your chapter to see if they agree to continue or to join. 

Next, after completion of your training and submission of your Background Check, you'll be sent a form where you will name the minimum seven students and three families, as well as your choice for gathering.

Gathering Choices: Chapters will decide how they will meet for 2021-2022. Click HERE for information concerning gathering choices.

As soon as the members are named on the form, in a day or two, we'll provide you a template so you can send an email to them with instructions for getting enrolled with ICC.


Every sponsor needs a team. 

We go together because we're better together.

A team consists of all chapter parents, all students, and a sponsor.

A chapter with twenty or more members requires a certified Assistant Sponsor.
