Note: Unless you were already in contact with JVP Staff to finish the chapter charter, we are currently having new and re-emering groups sign as Pods.
A lot of things are changing at JVP and the Chapter Organizer team is here to help. While Jemma is on sabbatical, there's two of us, 50+ locations, and a whole lot of leaders. If your question is not answered on the FAQ page or you're ready to get in touch with us, read this page carefully to learn how you can do so. Thank you in advance!

If your chapter received an email letting you know who your organizer is:
Chapters in this category should have already received a separate email from the national organizer assigned to work with them. Leadership from these places were highly responsive and engaged with the initial process, including filling out a self-assessment. Organizers were assigned based on a mix of experience, organizational needs, and regional preferences.
Chapters working with Shelby are:
Baltimore, Boston, Denver/Boulder, Houston, Philadelphia, San Diego, San Francisco Bay Area, South Florida, Washington DC
Email Shelby about questions not answered on this website at shelby@jvp.org

If your chapter didn't receive an email letting you know who your organizer is but you want to remain a chapter:
If your chapter wasn't listed in the previous section, then you haven't been assigned an organizer yet. This is probably because we didn't have enough information from your chapter to determine who should be assigned to you. Don't worry! There's still a chance for you to decide to remain a chapter, and we're committed to supporting you in making that decision.
Chapters in this category will be supported through this process by either Shelby or Michael as needed. To ensure you get a timely response, please communicate with both of them:
