Become a Member of
the Chico Women’s Club
The Chico Women’s Club has been part of Chico since 1913. Becoming a member means stepping into an active organization shaped by events, programs, and the people who show up for them.
Membership is open to anyone who wants to participate, support the club, or stay connected to what’s happening at the clubhouse.
While the club has deep roots in women’s leadership, we welcome everyone: women, trans and non-binary individuals, supportive men, and members of the broader community.
Membership is $50.00 and will renew automatically each year.

Why Join the Club?
Members often describe the Chico Women’s Club as informal, welcoming, and easy to step into.
People join for many reasons:
to meet interesting people in the community
to support the arts and cultural programming in Chico
to participate in meaningful local conversations
to volunteer and contribute to community initiatives
to have a welcoming place to gather and create
Some people first visit for an event and quickly discover they’ve found a community they want to stay connected to.
