Online Membership has also been a tool that councils can use to electronically get a member to join. For an overview of the Online Membership process, watch this video.
These PowerPoints are an informative way to explain Online Membership at State or Council Meetings.
Councils can use Online Membership as a paperless way to bring a man into their council. Utilize the Why Join Brochure to explain the benefits of joining. The Online Application Guide provides a step-by-step walkthrough of the online process.
To include online members in local events, use the How to Invite Online Members to State Events Guide for tips and best practices.

The College Councils Department can be reached at college@kofc.org.
