Shine a Light on Your Student Leaders With National Student Council
Student councils, student governments, student senates—or student leadership committees by any other name—have the power to completely transform your school environment. And with National Student Council (NatStuCo) membership, you shine a national spotlight on your outstanding leaders and take student leadership in your school to the next level. NatStuCo provides the right tools and resources to become incredible advocates for positive change in your school, your community, and beyond.
Supporting Your Advisers
Give your adviser the power of NatStuCo with a robust array of templates, how-to guides, and other resources available in the Adviser Resource Center, as well as a nationwide network of peer support in the Adviser Online Community.
Recognizing Your Student Council
The National Councils of Excellence program awards outstanding councils across the country with two levels of recognition: Standard and Gold. And with the application process now on a new digital platform this year, it’s never been easier to “go for the gold!”
Developing Your Leaders
Structured leadership development programs such as Distinguished Student Leaders for high school and Emerging Student Leaders for middle level help you teach students critical leadership skills and provide milestones to recognize their progress. NatStuCo members also get special discounts to national events including the National Student Council Conference and LEAD Conferences to further develop the leadership skills of both advisers and students.
