Join the National Movement

MIDDLE/HIGH SCHOOL DIVISION 

Membership in Educators Rising Middle/High School division is an annual membership based on the academic year starting in July and ending in June each year. Members need to renew each year in order to maintain active status. 

All state dues will be paid through your Educators Rising membership portal.

Keep in mind that when you register in the national database, you or your school/district agree to pay the student membership fee. Be sure you have paid any outstanding balances from last year so your chapter can be approved to participate this year.

COLLEGIATE DIVISION 

Educators Rising students have support and opportunities throughout college! We are excited to partner with Aspiring Educators to provide a seamless transition from secondary to post-secondary education for our members and provide continued support as they continue their journey to the classroom.

To join Aspiring Educators and Educators Rising as a student, see if your school has a chapter by looking up your state and joining today.

If an Aspiring Educators chapter already exists on your campus, you are all set to join that chapter. After joining, all new members will receive a promotional code to allow them to register for the Educators Rising Collegiate program at no charge. This way, you will have access to resources in both organizations for only one fee.

If your school does not have an Aspiring Educators chapter, don’t worry. You will be given the opportunity to start one. Learn more about Aspiring Educators and join today.
