To host a Traditional workshop in your area, complete the North America Extension Workshop Application (pdf) and submit to the Membership & New Club Development Department at least three weeks prior to your requested workshop date.
After the application is approved by LCI, the workshop coordinator should begin to work with the assigned new club development consultant to prepare for a successful workshop.

Level 2 workshops are a good way to form multiple clubs in your district from a one day in-depth workshop. The key is identifying good club organizers that will follow through with their commitment to form a new club.

To host a Level 2 Workshop, complete the North America Level 2 Extension Workshop Application (pdf) and submit to the Membership & New Club Development Department. Please note that a Commitment Form (found on the last page of application) must be signed by each of the new club organizers and submitted with the application three weeks prior to the requested training date.
Campus workshops are available during the academic calendar year. It is highly encouraged to conduct a Campus workshop at the beginning of the academic year. To apply, please submit the Campus Extension Workshop Application (pdf) to the Membership & New Club Development Department.
