The 4 Root System: Start Here!

How do we sustain and grow our community college chapters? 

The Four Root System is a develpmental framework that looks at the four vital elements of a thriving community college chapter: 

  • Root A: Supportive Area
  • Root B: Campus Leader
  • Root C: Replicable Systems
  • Root D: Community Partnership

While each of these roots can influence each other, they develop at different rates and can be at different stages. This tool can help you diagnose what stage your chapter is at in each of the roots and gives a roadmap for the next stage of growth for each of these roots. 

Download and take a look at the tool! In each root, what stage is your chapter at? What are the next steps for each root's development in your chapter?
