Bring FTAD to Your Community.

FTAD chapters run as independent student-led organizations, but they do not operate in a vacuum. Every chapter needs a home, a community around it, and institutional support to get off the ground. That is where schools, universities, local governments, and community organizations come in.

FTAD provides the competition framework, the operational structure, and the national network. Your organization provides the space, the students, and the local foundation. Together, that is enough to launch a chapter and keep it running.

Students who participate gain direct experience in leadership, engineering, business operations, and team management. These are not simulated exercises. They are real responsibilities with real outcomes, built into a competition format that keeps students motivated and accountable season after season.

For Schools and Universities

Starting a chapter gives your students access to a structured, competition-driven program with defined roles, mentor support, and a national event calendar. FTAD fits within existing extracurricular frameworks. You provide the space and student body. FTAD provides everything else needed to get a chapter running.

For Local Governments and Community Organizations

FTAD chapters create visible, measurable youth engagement in your community. Competition events bring outside attention. Students build public-facing brands and portfolios that reflect where they come from. Supporting a chapter is a direct investment in developing skilled, motivated young people who are already doing the work.
