Student Membershiup FAQ's
How do I become a member of Game Changers Chapters? Students are selected for membership through local school chapters. Students who have been enrolled at the school for the equivalent of one semester and who meet their chapter’s cumulative GPA requirement (Scholarship) are candidates for membership. Candidates are then considered for membership based on meeting their chapter’s requirements for service, leadership, and character. Membership decisions are made by the chapter’s 3-member faculty council, and a majority vote of the council is required for selection. See the How to Become a Student Member section for more information.
Are full-time homeschooled students eligible for GCC membership? Full-time homeschooled students may be eligible for GCC at the decision of the chapter council at their school district that they live in.
