NSBE Jr. Chapters
NSBE Jr. is the formal membership category for NSBE’s pre-college students.  NSBE Jr. members may form chapters in their schools, churches or community organizations. Students not belonging to a chapter will be “at-large members.”   Volunteers such as members of NSBE collegiate or Alumni Extension chapters, parents/guardians, teachers, counselors or school administrators act as advisors to provide support, guidance and assistance to chapters to implement projects and activities.
