Chapters are a geographically based SLS subgroup responsible for carrying out activities, initiatives, and events within their designated area. Chapters serve a subset of the community and can have a maximum of 30 members.

They aim to engage with these members, tailor activities to the needs and interests of the local community or region, and initiate small-scale impact projects.

Chapters will have their own leadership, governance structure, and objectives while remaining aligned with the overarching mission and goals of the SLS.

To kick off the Chapter creation process, we will be running a pilot that includes the establishment of 3 chapters (in Saudi Arabia and abroad)

Pilot Chapter Locations:

• USA
• KSA Eastern Province (Sharqiyah)
• KSA Western Province (Gharbiyah)
