Earn a Membership

The Earn-A-Membership program makes the CA facilities more accessible to income qualified Columbia families and teens by providing the opportunity to earn a membership by volunteering at CA facilities. There are two existing programs, one for adults/families and one for teens, ages 14-18. Memberships that are available to be earned through the program are: Package Plan Limited 1, Individual Club Membership or an Outdoor Pools Membership. All of these memberships can be earned for either an individual, a 2 member or a family membership. Teens can earn an individual membership for themselves under the Teen Earn-A-Membership or help their family earn a family membership under the Earn-A-Membership program. Teens must have a work permit to be eligible. All applicants must reside on CA-assessed property and families must be within income guidelines to be eligible for the program. Income guidelines for an individual or family membership are the same as those for the Income Qualified Memberships as listed above. Income guidelines for the Teen Earn-A-Membership program are slightly higher.
