What We Support
Five core areas of advisor support
Every support area was identified by working advisors who told us exactly what was burning them out.
CTSO Logistics
Membership registration, officer elections, chapter setup, event coordination, and competition registration — we help you build systems that don't require starting from scratch each year. Templates, timelines, and checklists included.
Forms & Workflow Tools
Advisor-designed digital forms for permission slips, waivers, student agreements, volunteer sign-ups, and more. Reduce the paper stack and keep everything organized in one place.
Fundraiser & Payment Support
We help you set up online fundraisers, manage payment collection, track proceeds, and stay within district policy. No more chasing cash envelopes or building spreadsheets from scratch.
Travel & Competition Support
State and national competition travel is one of the most stressful parts of being a CTSO advisor. We provide trip planning checklists, parent communication templates, budget tracking, and pre-trip approval workflow support.
Advisor Retention
Great CTSO programs depend on great advisors who stay. We advocate for fair compensation, lighter administrative loads, and peer support networks so advisors feel valued — not just utilized.
