Welcome to the Virginia Student Councils Association (VSCA)—the ultimate hub for student leaders across the Commonwealth!

Founded in 1905, we are the oldest state student council association in the US, but our focus is entirely on the future. We serve public and private school changemakers from kindergarten all the way through high school.  At VSCA, we don't just talk about leadership—we live it. We’re here to help you build, expand, and power up your student council while mastering the real-world citizenship and democracy skills you need to make a difference.
Ready to bring some roaring energy to your council and build on a legendary legacy? You're in the right place!
