Membership

Find your people.

We meet for lunch every Wednesday with neighbors who believe in young people. First lunch is on us — visit a meeting before you decide.

Friend of Youth

Every program we run benefits kids in the Fox Valley — from scholarships to childhood cancer to youth appreciation.

A real lunch hour

Wednesdays at noon. Doors open at 11:45. We're done by 1:00 so you can get back to your day.

No pressure

Visit as many times as you like before applying. We'd rather have engaged members than a long roster.
