​​Training & Resources​

Welcome to​ the Training & Resources site! This site contains materials, information, and training resources to help you be successful leading chapters and youth service clubs. Here you get access to important resources, like the Fraternal Leader Han​​dbook, which includes policies, guidelines, information and tips to help you understand your role as a fraternal leader (chapter activities coordinator or youth club leader), funding available to chapters and youth clubs, and how to host fraternal activities.​​

You'll find hundreds of activity ideas and several fraternal leader training videos. (Quizzes are included to test your knowledge.) You can request a closed Facebook group and submit your annual acknowledgment forms. Need help finding and understanding the chapter or youth club roster? We have that too! Use the links in the navigatio​n area on the left to access these and many other resources. ​
