Become a New Member

Membership

Anyone between the ages 6-18 can become a member. The Fort Smith Boys & Girls Club is a drop-in youth service organization where members have opportunities for recreation, healthy competition, new friendships, supervised activities and interactions with adult staff and volunteers.

An annual membership card is $30. It is valid from the time of purchase until 1 year of sign up date. Membership fees are non-refundable. Activity fees ($35) are charged for major sports, shuttle (per semester), and the summer program. Scholarships and Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) is available.

Membership fees are not refundable in full or in part. Members can come to the Club anytime we are open during their active membership (an additional charge must be paid for the summer months.) FSBGC will not allow costs to prevent anyone from participating. FSBGC is a membership organization. Visitors can purchase a Visitors Pass. Anyone without a Membership Card or Visitor Pass cannot attend and will be asked to leave. A Visitor Pass is $5 during school year and $5 during the summer. Additional fees are assessed for athletic, certain other special programs, and summer. FSBGC makes no claims to be a provider of daycare or babysitting services. FSBGC does not assume any responsibility for the time or manner in which members arrive or leave our facilities or properties.

Video surveillance, with or without audio recording capabilities, may be used in and around club facilities, on club property, and on club transportation vehicles. Video surveillance will be conducted in accordance with all applicable laws regarding such use.
