How Can You Join?
Types of Memberships
- Chapter Membership. An individual, who meets the eligibility
requirements, can join PWP at the chapter level by using our Chapter Search. Once you find a chapter in your area, contact the individual listed who will
inform you of the chapter's activities, orientation days, etc. The annual membership fee varies between individual chapters;
however the range is between $35 to $50. This membership is the best alternative for a hands-on, local support network. If
you do not find a chapter in your area, simply contact the Parents Without Partners International office.
- Member-at-Large. This membership alternative is for those individuals
who do not reside near an existing chapter, who travel frequently and who would still like the member benefits,
discounts, and online support. (Please be sure to check the chapter search page for a chapter near you before joining as a
Member-At-Large). An individual, who meets the eligibility requirements, can apply to Parents without Partners on the international
level. You will retain the rights of chapter membership (outlined below) and can go to any local chapter meetings;
however there are two major differences compared to chapter membership:
- members-at-large can not vote or hold an office; and
- members-at-large - The
annual fee is $40.
