FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTION

Q: How Do I Enroll my Child at Boys & Girls Club
A: Please see the Registration and Programs page. We have an enrollment period before each school year. Existing member get first priority. If there is space available after their priority period we take new members. We have a wait list if space opens up during the school year. If space opens during the school year we figure out which age levels have space and go down the wait list to find new members in those age groups.

Q: How does the waitlist work?
A: If membership is closed please fill out our Interest Form. We will need the parent/guardian contact name, phone number and email address. Our waitlist is good for one year and does not roll into the following year. We closely monitor our average daily attendance. If that number dips we call people off the waitlist until our average daily attendance returns to our highest point allowable.
