2026 Incentives Reporting Forms

SPJST is proud to continue our established program designed to engage members in community work and volunteerism. This initiative motivates lodges and rewards their efforts to demonstrate benevolence, humanity, and brotherhood both within SPJST and in local communities. The strongest lodges are those that meet regularly, uphold best business practices, and maintain consistent operations with the SPJST Home Office.

Incentives for this program are granted to lodges and youth groups that contribute volunteer hours in community service; host social engagement activities; raise funds; and achieve this criteria:
