Administrators
Champion Your Students' Voice
Support Legal, Life-Giving Initiatives
As an administrator, you play a key role in empowering students to lead, serve, and take initiative in what matters most to them. The Jesus Clubs is a legal, student-led initiative that gives young people an opportunity to share their faith, serve their campus, and create a safe space for their peers. Across the U.S. and around the world, administrators are seeing the positive impact of these clubs—improved campus culture, increased engagement, and stories of real transformation.
Allowing a Jesus Club on your campus is not only legal—it’s an opportunity to honor student voice, champion character-building, and uphold the law that protects their right to express their faith.
Make In Impact
Encourage Student Leaders
Today’s students care deeply about issues like faith, purpose, and belonging. Jesus Clubs provide a positive, proactive way for students to share and grow in their faith respectfully and legally. These clubs are always student-initiated and student-led. Your support fosters a healthy school environment where leadership, initiative, and responsibility can grow—regardless of belief or background.
Protect Student Rights
The Equal Access Act says that if a school allows any non-curricular clubs—like chess, drama, or LGBTQ+—it must also allow student-initiated, faith-based clubs. These clubs have the same access to rooms, resources, promotion, and involvement of guest speakers and volunteers. Policies and administrative support help clubs operate legally and protect student rights.
Catalyze Positive Impact
Jesus Clubs help improve campus culture. At a school with consistent administration support, a principal reported higher graduation rates, less drug use, violence, and bullying. Jesus Clubs promote authentic faith, kindness, service, prayer, and healthy peer leadership. Your partnership creates space for students to grow in faith, responsibility, purpose, and care for others.
