Bring the KDP Community to You: Start a Local Chapter

Welcome to a vibrant community where educators thrive and grow together—where we celebrate the unique contributions of each chapter and cultivate belonging that empowers every member to lead with confidence. 

Why Start a Chapter of KDP?

  • Celebrate Excellence: You want to recognize the achievements and innovations of educators. When you start a chapter, you join a movement that values and honors educational excellence at every level, advancing the art of teaching through meaningful recognition.
  • Build Community: You want to craft an environment that appreciates collaboration, insightful dialogue, and an uplifting spirit that creates a rich space where voices are heard and valued.
  • Experience Belonging: You’re looking for more than an activity. You want to foster a culture where members feel connected, supported, and integral to a shared mission. KDP provides a welcoming and inclusive space where diversity is celebrated and every voice is cherished.
  • Lead with Impact: You are committed to cultivating leadership at all levels. KDP chapters are empowered with resources, training, and opportunities to be leaders in their local community to drive positive change in education. As lifelong learners, you'll drive positive change in education and develop the next generation of educational leaders.
