Getting Involved

Ways to Engage with Beta

Being part of the National Beta community means engaging in all our organization has to offer. We rely on our National Beta members and sponsors to help grow our impact across the nation through their active involvement—and to have fun in the process!

The first step, of course, is to make sure your school or group has a club. If you want to impact and cultivate leadership skills among your students, become a sponsor and start a club.
