Already in an Operation Smile student club? Great! All you need to do is:

1. Search to see if there is already a group set up for your club.

2. If not, Create an Online Group. Name the group after your school club so others can easily find it.

3. Invite other club members to join the group. (They will also need to register on OSCentral.org and set up a profile in order to join).

Special Note to club advisors and club officers:

Club Advisors: Once you have registered, please contact Brittany Williams and let her know you have registered and are a club advisor. We will then grant you permission to access the club advisors only section of OS Central, as well as grant club officer status to members who are officers of the Operation Smile Club.

Club Officers: Once your club advisor has registered, they can then designate you as a club officer, which will allow you access to a special club officers only section of OS Central.

Start an Operation Smile Student Club

Take the lead in your school and start an Operation Smile club. Here’s how:

The first step is to find an adult sponsor for your Operation Smile club. This faculty member will work with your Operation Smile Student Club (OSSC) and with the administration to ensure that your club activities run smoothly and fall within the guidelines set by your school. The sponsor will also help assure the OSSC that you are working hard to build will continue to grow and to thrive even after you've graduated.

Once you have established your OSSC, please take a moment to fill out and send in the Registration and Contact Verification Forms (found in OS Central once you register for the community) to us at headquarters: 6435 Tidewater Drive, Norfolk, Va., 23509. It is important that we are aware of your new Student Club so we can keep you informed of all upcoming events, exciting news and happenings in Student Programs!

We also want you to know that as you work to build your OSSC, you are not alone. There are many resources at your fingertips, including the Executive Leadership Council and the entire Operation Smile Student Programs Team. If you have any questions, or concerns, please feel free to get in touch with us or a member of the Executive Leadership Council. We are here to help! We eagerly look forward to hearing about all of the great things that you and your club are doing on behalf of Operation Smile.

Thanks again for taking initiative to help change children's lives worldwide. You have made the choice to be bigger than yourself, and we congratulate you for making this committed decision! We now challenge you to take action in your school and your community to effect change through service and leadership.
