Requirements

Who is Eligible?

  • Girls in grades 9-12 (public, private or home-schooled) and their mothers
  • Residents of the Clark, Brandeis, O’Connor, or Harlan attendance boundary

What is required for membership?

GIRLS:

  • Volunteer at 3 philanthropic/volunteer events (about 20 hours) during the SASO year, May 1 through the following April.  Great way to earn service hours for NHS and school.
  • Attend a minimum of 3 personal growth (PG) meetings during the same time frame (May 1 – April 30).

MOTHERS:

  • Volunteer at three (3) of the offered philanthropic events with your daughter.

What else should I know?

  • To be eligible for philanthropic/volunteer or personal growth credit, members must sign up, arrive on time, and stay for the entire event.
  • Once membership requirements have been fulfilled, a girl may attend additional opportunities without her mother, providing another mother supervises her. Girls should not be dropped off without pre-arranged supervision at any SASO philanthropic events.
  • Personal Growth Meetings are attended by girls only; mothers do not need to attend but are allowed to do so.
  • Re-enrollment will be required annually for all members in good standing. The Annual Membership Drive begins in mid-February. Applications are accepted on a first come, first served basis.
    •  Membership Fee – $100 for mom and daughter pair, $50 for each additional daughter.
    • 100% of fees will be used to cover the chapter’s operating expenses. There are no paid staff. Additionally, if the budget allows, an end-of-year dinner may be organized for mom-and-daughter members.
