If you already know a Club you would like to join, write to the person listed as a contact point for that club or to the Vice President, Membership (VPM).
If you don’t know any club, you can:
- Check the global country page to see if there is a local group for your country.
- Join the local group and see which clubs are available.
- Attend one of their meetings as a guest.
- Ask to join!
If you still can’t find a club to join, feel free to email us at info@agoraspeakers.org with your city and country, and we’ll try to point you to the existing ones in your area.
In Agora, you can join as many clubs as you want, as long as you’re able to participate regularly in their meetings. And, best of all, you don’t have to pay anything to us regardless of whether you join one or ten clubs. Of course, each club is allowed to charge an additional membership fee to offset operation costs, such as room rental, printing and photocopying costs, audio/visual equipment, etc.
Also, Agora has many different club types that differ in the way they function.
Club membership is subject to acceptance by the club. Even if you’re a member of Agora Speakers, a club is allowed to refuse your membership for objective, nondiscriminatory reasons (such as lack of enough room space, lack of some pre-requisites such as a specific professional background, etc.).
If you feel the negative was based on discriminatory reasons (race, color, religion, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, age, income level, nationality, ethnicity, or mental or physical disabilities), please drop us a note at info@agoraspeakers.org, and we will investigate further.
If there are no clubs nearby, you can always start one! We provide club founders with a lot of support, training, and worldwide recognition within our community. If you start the first club in your country, you might even apply for Agora Country Ambassador.
