The Pathway
Connect

Agreement
Every chapter begins with a commitment to the Luke5 mission through a licensing agreement. At this point, we also encourage you to get insurance and nonprofit coverage in place to make sure your chapter is set on a strong foundation.
Team
No one starts a chapter alone! You'll build a team of supporters and volunteers. This includes Lead Sherpas who will help carry the vision and cheer you on as your chapter takes shape.
Fundraise
Next, you'll raise funds to purchase Rosie (our specialized hiking chair) and other equipment. This ensures your chapter is equipped to serve families safely and properly.
Training
You and your team will go through Luke5Academy, our online training program. We'll also come to you for in-person Lead Sherpa training so you can experience the hands-on process.
Happy Hiking!
With your team, training, and equipment in place, you'll be ready to launch your chapter and start hiking! This is where the mission comes alive as you help families experience the impossible.
