Membership Information
Membership is open to all youth between the ages of 6 and 18 (Must be going into first grade for the summer program and be in first grade for the after school program). A membership form must be completed and signed by a parent or guardian each calendar year (even if you are simply renewing your membership). Our membership fee is $50 per calendar year and will not be pro-rated for partial year memberships. Additional fees are charged for February and April vacations and the summer program and/or certain field trips. However, our goal is to always keep costs associated with Boys & Girls Club membership as low as possible so as to not exclude anyone based on economic circumstances.
The information you provide us on the membership application is critical. We ask that every effort be made to present contact information that is both current as well as accurate. It is the parent’s/guardian’s responsibility to notify us of any changes to your telephone number (home, work, emergency contacts, etc.) and/or address information as soon as such changes occur.
Orientations are required for all new members and their parents. Please take advantage of the opportunity to see and hear what your Boys & Girls Club is all about and how you can give back to the Club to make it a better place for all of our kids. Orientations are held on Tuesdays at 7:00 pm, except during vacations. Summer vacation will have special orientations on certain days. One orientation meeting must be attended with a parent or guardian prior to joining the club.
Membership in the Boys & Girls Club is a privilege, not a right. The Boys & Girls Club reserves the right to refuse membership to any child at any time, with or without cause.
Please take a look at our Services and Core Programs pages to learn why you should become a member at the Boys & Girls Club of Greater Derry.
