How Campus Chapter
A campus chapter is a group of students who are passionate about helping people build better lives for themselves, and are ready to take the next step to lead the charge at their campus to help fulfill the Youth for Pakistan mission. The idea behind the Campus Chapters is on the lines of building a community of students and youth across all universities and giving them a common platform, which can connect all these chapters. Each campus chapter has a dedicated page on our website to allow different Campus Chapters to connect.

Why Campus Chapters?
A campus chapter is a group of students who are passionate about helping people build better lives for themselves, and are ready to take the next step to lead the charge at their campus to help fulfill the Youth for Pakistan mission. The idea behind the Campus Chapters is on the lines of building a community of students and youth across all universities and giving them a common platform, which can connect all these chapters. Each campus chapter has a dedicated page on our website to allow different Campus Chapters to connect.
Youth For Pakistan was receiving thousands of applications for membership on monthly basis. It was a cumbersome task for the YFP team to manage this huge number of members and fulfill their needs. After a detailed discussion in a YFP Board of Directors meeting, a Campus Chapter idea emerged. Campus Chapter is commonplace for all students in a particular university headed by a 13 body Campus Board. Campus Board is responsible for managing events, membership, requesting different services from YFP like career planning seminars, workshops, events, etc. In this way, each university has its own campus structure in which they can connect with other Campus Chapters, share resources and get to know about fellow students, connect and collaborate with them.
