Every month, new individuals and organizations come out to Forum meetings to see what’s happening and to consider involvement. The doors are always open. If you’re interested in attending a meeting or two to see what we’re all about, just contact us for information about upcoming agendas and locations.

Once an individual or organization has determined that they would like to become a member, we ask that they contribute to the sustainability of the organization through membership fees. This allows members to benefit from the Alliance for Children and Youth as a resource. Membership is open to anyone who shares our goals and values.

The membership fees are as follows:

• Large Organization (Staff of 15 or more FT equivalent positions) $400
• Small Organization (Staff of fewer than 15 FT equivalent positions) $100
• Individual $25

Member organizations may send as many personnel as they wish to Forum meetings in order to be sure the appropriate staff/volunteers are involved in that month’s discussion. However, in situations where a vote is necessary, each member has one vote (i.e. typically, the organization is the member and only one person votes on its behalf).
