How joining works

  1. Tell us about you

    Pick your city and clubs, your level in each, and whether you'd like to volunteer. It takes about three minutes.

  2. We group you locally

    You're placed in your city's chapter for each club and grouped with people at a similar level.

  3. Go to your first meet-up

    A host runs every session and a welcome buddy looks out for first-timers.

  4. Keep coming, or help run it

    Members who want to give back become hosts, coaches and welcome buddies in their city.

Circles for the world's major faiths, and for people of none

The Faith and Religion Club has its own circle for each tradition, and interfaith evenings where circles meet and learn from each other. Choose yours when you join.
