Chapters
Student Energy Chapters are student-led, post-secondary hubs that take action on energy in their local communities, supported by skill-building and mentorship from Student Energy and collaboration with a global network of Chapters.
Program Overview
Student Energy (SE) is a global youth-led organization that empowers young people to accelerate the energy transition through developing programs geared towards community building, energy education, capacity building, and creating spaces for youth to shape their energy future. Student Energy Chapters is an opportunity for students to establish a local branch of the organization on their post-secondary campus as a club or partnership society.
The SE Chapters program was created to unite youth within local contexts, as well as across the globe, and build long-lasting communities that facilitate meaningful youth engagement. It provides students with the tools and resources to take charge of sustainable energy initiatives for their communities. By leveraging our organizational brand and knowledge, we empower students to become energy leaders and drive change on a local and global level.
Our Chapters program offers a unique opportunity for post-secondary students to build lasting communities and drive impact that extends beyond their time in school, empowering newer generations of passionate students and leaders. Our program emphasizes the development of leadership through direct mentorship on soft skill development from SE staff and alumni, as well as the cultivation of a global network of like-minded peers. By joining our Chapters program, youth will be part of a community that fosters leadership development, promotes sustainability, and creates a positive impact on our energy future.

Check out some Chapter Events that have been hosted in our community below!
Our chapter at the Autonomous University of Yucatan (UADY) hosted a recurrent energy podcast that covered themes such as interviewing youth on campus for their opinions on the current energy state, progress and obstacles of the energy transition in their local community, and much more! Each week they uploaded a new podcast to Spotify to be shared with their local community and further.
Our chapter at Jomo Kenyatta University of Agriculture and Technology (JKUAT) hosted a networking games night, where they invite students from their campus to join the chapter in playing games such as Chess, Scrabble, and more to get to know each other while having fun! This is a great example of how our chapters really are community hubs, and we want you to have fun while also getting to know other energy-passionate youth!
Each year, our chapter at University of Groningen (UG), based in the Netherlands, hosts a symposium at the end of the school year where they invite speakers from across the globe to join them, virtually and in-person, to speak on energy related topics. The team is deep in the process of planning their 2023 Symposium which will be on the topic “Impacts of Global Events on Energy”.
Our chapter at Central American University (UCA), based in El Salvador, is putting on a hybrid-model webinar series featuring a range of topics related to renewable energy. Each event is hosted in person on their campus while being live streamed and recorded for virtual and future viewing. The duality of this platform increases accessibility for their audience and allows for more people to be able to participate and experience each webinar. Their topics range from covering the basics of renewable energy concepts to exploring the circular economy, and more!
Our chapter at the University of Manitoba (U of M), based in Canada, is carrying out a very exciting technical project. After the donation of an empty shipping container, the team has been working extremely hard to turn it into a solar heated greenhouse, with the intention of eventually distributing it to rural and Indigenous communities in Northern Manitoba. This will secure access to fresh greens year round for communities that cannot do so due to the harsh winter months. This Chapter developed this project under the Student Energy Fellowship Program in 2022. They have taken their project further by applying to the Student Energy Guided Projects program which provides them with direct funding and mentorship to support the continued development of their project.
Our chapter program allows overlap from other SE programs, so participants are always invited to apply for any of our other programs and opportunities as well!
