Filling out an enrollment request or membership packet does not guarantee a spot in the above programs. Please wait to hear from Boys & Girls Club confirming enrollment in the respective program(s) - otherwise, your name will be added to a waitlist. The Club works with children and families to provide a positive experience for all who need us. The Club is not designed to provide long-term one-on-one programming.  Please be sure to communicate any needs, triggers, and strategies on the application form to assist in making the Club experience successful for your child.

  • Please read the membership handbook before enrolling your child as a Club member. ​
  • Each child who attends Boys & Girls Club must be a member.
  • Membership is open to all youth without regard to gender, race, ethnicity, color, national origin, ancestry, religion, sexual orientation, socioeconomic status, language, disability, or immigration status. 
  • Memberships are not transferrable to other Boys & Girls Clubs. Club memberships are only valid at the Club where the application was submitted and the membership fee paid.
  • ​A membership enrollment packet must be completed and signed by a parent or guardian before a child may begin attending Club activities. Please read through it carefully. Parents or guardians should also meet with the Unit/Program Director or attend a brief orientation before the start of attendance.
"Being a member of something develops a sense of belonging and ownership."
