THIS MONTH we are thrilled to announce the the 2nd cohort of AWS Cloud Club, a **global** initiative run by Cloud Club Captains. AWS Cloud Clubs are student-focused, peer-driven user groups for post-secondary level students worldwide. Cloud Clubs are open to any learner age 18+. This is your chance to become a Cloud Club Captain by transitioning your current AWS Club. 

> Don't want to lead a club, but interested in joining one as a member? Find a Cloud Club near you on [meetup.com](https://www.meetup.com/pro/cloud-clubs)!

🐣 This cohort is dedicated primarily to transitioning an existing AWS-focused student-led club. If you are currently leading a campus club that focuses on AWS technologies and would like to onboard it to become an official AWS Cloud Club, read on.

[AWS Cloud Clubs](https://s12d.com/cloud-clubs) are student-run and student-driven communities. They offer unique opportunities for Captains to connect, collaborate, and upskill in AWS technologies. As a Cloud Club Captain, you will lead your local student audience and launch initiatives to foster a thriving tech Cloud Club in your region. To support your journey, we provide access to exclusive resources and connections to various communities.

🐣 If your club transition application is accepted, we will ask you, as a potential Captain, to audition for your Captaincy by writing answers to a suite of questions and by recording a short video to showcase your presentation skills and knowledge of AWS.

By joining as a Cloud Club Captain, you can enjoy a suite of exciting benefits as you earn them by holding events, including:

- 🧐 AWS Exam Vouchers: helping you pass AWS exams
- 🗝️ AWS Credits: experiment, innovate, and build projects using AWS services
- 🎪 Exclusive Experiences: special events and experiences in partnership with AWS employees, enabling you to expand your network and learn from industry experts, including Cloud Club Symposia and Camp
- 📣 Speaking and Workshop Opportunities: grow and showcase your expertise by presenting in workshops and events, sharing your knowledge with peers
- 👕 Swag: unique Cloud Club Captain swag for you and a valuable club pack for your club
