How much does it cost?
Nothing. Sip & Scale Jr. is free for students and schools. If an activity needs materials, the chapter confirms funding with the school before buying anything.
Who can join?
Any high school student who meets your school’s rules for clubs. Students do not need a project, or any business, coding, or leadership experience.
How does participation work?
Jr. chapters are based at schools. Ask your school advisor about local participation and meeting arrangements, or contact the Jr. team about starting a chapter.
How do you keep students safe?
The school keeps authority over rooms, guests, communications, and student safety. The advisor reviews every guest and off-campus activity. Chapters collect only the information they need and follow school consent rules before sharing names or photos.
