MEMBERSHIP
CSF (high school) and CJSF (middle school) recognize academic achievement — and turn it into real opportunities.
Membership is semester-based, not automatic.
You must apply each semester
Qualification depends on your grades
Membership builds toward CSF Life Member or CJSF Honor Member
Even if you don’t qualify one semester, you can still:
✔ Attend meetings
✔ Join activities
✔ Apply again next term
CSF/CJSF MEETINGS
All CSF members will be encouraged to attend our Zoom meetings. This is not a requirement, but rather an opportunity to connect with other high-achieving students, share ideas, and make a meaningful impact together.
Fall 2026 - We will hit the ground running with a more regular, engaged structure, including Zoom meetings and officer elections. We are excited to build momentum early and strengthen our chapter community from the start of the year!

VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITIES / SERVICE PROJECTS
This is where CSF/CJSF comes alive! We believe community service is where leadership truly begins. CSF/CJSF encourages students to use their skills, compassion, and initiative to create positive change.
Fall 2026- We will be working together to brainstorm and launch a new project that makes a real difference in our community.
