Volunteer in the U.S.

Join A Chapter

What is a Chapter?
Chapters are AIF’s "geographic presence" across the United States, serving as a local base for the Foundation and conducting outreach on behalf of AIF’s causes. All chapters are volunteer-led and are open to members from all backgrounds and ages. Chapters play a critical role in expanding AIF's support base outside of its official presences in New York and the San Francisco Bay Area.
