- Help with financing your college education through the NJHS Outstanding Achievement Award, which each year recognizes 500 exceptional NJHS members who best reflect the values of membership with a $500 college savings award
- Service projects, both by the chapter and individual, allow you to build teamwork capabilities, hone project management aptitude, and make friends—all valuable life skills
- Leadership development, motivation, and inspiration gained through your own chapter’s work as well as three LEAD Conferences and NJHS State Summits held in select locations annually
How Can You Become a Member?
For starters, you’ll need strong grades. Once you have verified that your school has an active chapter, you must be in grades 6–9. (Students must be in their second semester of sixth grade for consideration. Ninth grade students are only eligible for inclusion in NJHS if they attend a middle level school. Ninth grade students in a traditional 9-12 high school are not eligible for NJHS membership.) You must also meet the school’s eligibility requirements to be invited to join. Check with your school’s main office to identify your chapter adviser. The adviser can then explain the process.
