Who we are

Student chapters

FBA lives on campus. Our student chapters are recognised clubs and societies at universities and colleges across South Africa.

Where you will find us

Each chapter is run by students, for students. Chapters mentor first-years, visit schools in their communities and grow the next generation of FBA leaders.
