IJF Chapters
What Is an IJF Chapter?
An International Jedi Federation (IJF) Chapter is a local community of Jedi Realists who gather in person to study, train, and live by the Jedi path together. Chapters create spaces where members can connect beyond the digital realm, sharing in-person training, service projects, discussions, and fellowship.
Each chapter:
-
Embodies the Jedi Compass living out our shared values in daily life.
-
Holds local events such as training sessions, public service, social meetups, and educational workshops.
-
Supports member growth through mentorship, discussion, and practice.
-
Builds bridges between the Jedi community and the wider world.
Chapters are self-led within the IJF framework, meaning they follow our core principles while shaping their own local flavor and traditions. They are where the Jedi path truly meets everyday life.

Starting a Chapter
To found an official International Jedi Federation (IJF) chapter, you must first achieve the rank of Knight.
This requirement ensures that each chapter is guided by a Jedi with proven experience, training, and commitment to the Jedi path. Knights have demonstrated not only their knowledge of Jedi philosophy, but also their ability to serve, mentor, and lead others with integrity.
If you’re not yet a Knight, you are encouraged to:
-
Join an existing chapter to gain experience and community connection.
-
Work through IJF training and mentorship to reach Knighthood.
-
Learn from active chapter leaders to prepare for your own future chapter.
Once you’ve earned Knighthood, you can apply to the IJF Council to establish your chapter and receive the support needed to grow your local Jedi community.
