Free, Flexible, and Fun for K-12 Youth!
Membership is FREE and available to all youth in grades K-12th. Membership is required for any youth who wants to enter the Club or participate in programming. Members do not have to come to the Club every day or call ahead. Our Club sites operate as drop-in centers, meaning members can come and go as they need, on any days they want, during our scheduled hours of operation.
An annual membership application must be completed by a parent or guardian for each youth eligible for membership. Parents and/or guardians must attend a New Member Orientation with each child (K-6) becoming a member. Teens must also attend orientation, though parents or guardians do not need to attend.
