Policies and Guidelines are set by Altrusa International for all ASTRA Clubs. Each club may adapt guidelines and regulations to meet their specific needs so long as they are not in conflict with Bylaws and Policies of Altrusa International, Inc.

Understand that there will be different requirements for middle school and high school clubs and at the college level you will be working with young adults who will not be subject to rules and regulations for minors. Also, at the college level your club will probably be considered a campus club and will need a set of Bylaws in compliance with that specific college’s requirements. So once again be aware that documents and forms may be edited to fit the specific needs of each ASTRA Club.

If your Altrusa Club is thinking about sponsoring and supporting an ASTRA Club the items listed below will help get your started. There are samples and forms provided to make the Chartering process for your ASTRA Club easy and efficient. Forms and documents can be edited to meet the specific needs for your club.
