Student Membership is designed for students at the undergraduate or graduate level who are interested in the child life profession. To obtain the discounted rate, the student must email, fax (301-881-7092), or mail ("Attn: Membership") proof that they are currently enrolled as a full-time student (9 or more credits, unless full-time is otherwise defined by their institution). Acceptable forms of proof include one of the following: (1) A letter from a registrar or internship supervisor; (2) An unofficial copy of a college transcript with information regarding the current semester’s enrollment; or (3) A copy of the student's current class schedule that indicates enrollment as a full-time student.
Your membership will be considered "pending" until proof of your current full-time student status is received and approved by CLC. Benefits will not be activated until CLC receives and approves student status.

Associate members are non-child life specialists who come from another discipline or profession, but want to remain informed about issues affecting child life. Associate members include healthcare workers such as doctors and nurses, educators, parents, vendors and corporate supporters, and other concerned members of the public that are involved or interested in child life. Associate members can elect to receive the Bulletin, and may choose to subscribe to the CLC Forum, but may not hold a voting position on the Executive Board.

All new and rejoining members (except students) will be charged a one-time administrative fee of $25 U.S. in addition to the base membership dues. A rejoining member is defined as an individual whose previous membership with CLC has expired. To avoid this fee, active members should renew their membership before their expiration date. Please log in and visit your CLC User Profile for more information about your membership.
