About the Club

  • Logo
       
    The National Beta Club began as the dream of our founder, Dr. John W. Harris, a professor at Wofford College in Spartanburg, SC. Since the first Beta Club was formed in Landrum, SC in 1934, The National Beta Club has become the nation's largest independent, non-profit, educational youth organization. We are committed to recognizing and promoting high academic achievement, rewarding and nurturing worthy character, fostering leadership skills and encouraging service to others.

    The National Beta Club has worked with over 6.5 million young people in grades 5-9 (Junior Beta Club) and grades 9-12 (Senior Beta Club). There are now more than 450,000 active members and more than 8,750 clubs nationally and internationally.

    1. You did not submit hours within the 2-week limit.
    2. Your hours were submitted on time but the contact person you provided has not yet confirmed your service hours.
    3. You submitted hours for a something that is not “above and beyond” and does not count for service hours. (students that have an * by their name can come see Mrs. Janssen in room 608 for more details)
    4. You tried to use service hours from another club to count for this club.

    Email Mrs. Janssen or your club Secretary, Zachary Locklear, if you have any concerns or questions about your hours.
