Youth Programs
For our 2025 youth programs, you will have to fill out the application, send your reference forms to 2 people and pay the $50 chapter membership fee (if you haven’t yet done so):
1. Youth Application
The program applicant and family need to fill out and submit an online 2025 Youth Program Application.
This form needs to be sent to your 2 references for them to fill out. Please note that the reference should be a non-relative of the applicant. (Choose a teacher, coach, family friend etc). After each reference fills out and submits the confidential online reference form, it will be automatically sent to our chapter.
