Apply for Our Program!

Enrollment information

The Howard Area Clubhouse is free to join. Parents and guardians must fill out our application before any admittance to our program. We do have a waitlist for anyone interested in enrolling, so we thank you in advance for your patience. Additionally, we are an After School Matters site that allows high schoolers to get paid through working with us.

All applicants must fill out an application. Each application is then reviewed by our staff. Once the review process is finished, we will email parents/guardians back on whether their child is accepted into our program.

We are currently accepting ages 9 through 18.

For youth under the age of 13 or for those wanting service learning hours instead, please email Terrance at tdavid1@howardarea.org.

For youth that are ages 14-17 to receive compensation through our program, they must apply to our After School Matters program through their website and look for our After School Matters name, Convention Connection 101. All After School Matters enrollees must still complete the original application in addition to the After School Matters one. From there they will be interviewed by our Clubhouse staff. If they are qualified, they will receive mandatory, unpaid training to get hired and enrolled into our Clubhouse with a paid position. Training for our positions always begins before the start of each After School Matters session (Spring, Summer, and Fall). Keep in mind that we have limited spots in each of our departments.
