Starting a New Chapter

​I. Become a Sponsor

1. Each JCL Chapter needs a sponsor, an adult (usually the Latin teacher) who is a member of the American Classical League that will help the chapter run and could help with JCL.
   1. If you want to be a sponsor and join the ACL, there is a yearly fee of either 70 dollars or 30 dollars (if you are a new teacher).
   2. Follow instructions here to become a member of the ACL: https://www.aclclassics.org/Join-ACL

II. Fill Out Chapter Registration

2. If you are a new chapter, there are no chapter dues, but each student has a registration fee of 3 dollars.
3. Complete these registrations by the deadlines for Fall Forum and State Convention, as given on the NCJCL website. This year, the Fall Forum registration deadline is October 14th.

III. Attend Fall Forum to meet other chapters and get acquainted with the classics, register
for Certamen (Latin and Roman quizbowl), go to State Convention, and have fun!
