THIRD-PLACE .
A Community Membership — Ages 13–18
Home is the first place. School is the second. Third Place is the one that’s yours. For teens who can’t sign on to build a whole project right now — but want in, want to serve, want somewhere to belong. Fifty dollars a month gets you both.
SIMPLE BY DESIGN
WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE
Sign Up, Anytime
No application, no audition, no waitlist. If you're 13–18, you're in the day you join — the membership starts working for you right away.
Get Matched Every Month
We pair you with a real local way to serve, pulled from our running list of community partners and built around what you actually care about — not whatever's left over.
Show Up At The Studio
Once a month the studio is yours for the night. It's never the same twice — creative, deep, service-driven, practical. You don't have to earn it. You just have to come.
Stay As Long As It's Yours
No minimum commitment, cancel anytime. And if fifty dollars is the only thing in the way, the Lupine Fund covers it — no application, just a conversation.
Sometimes the difference is just one place that's yours.— The Educationalist Method
One membership, four moving parts — join, get matched, show up, stay as long as it's yours.
TWO WAYS IN
EVERYONE HAS A PART TO PLAY
Parents want to know what's happening. Partners want teens who actually want to be there. Here's what each can expect.
For Families
What To Expect
- No application, no audition — your teen signs up and they're in.
- A new match every month — you'll know where they're serving and when.
- One studio night a month — always something different, always supervised.
- The Lupine Fund covers members who can't pay — no forms, just a conversation.
For Community Partners
Host a Match
- A steady stream of teen volunteers matched to your organization every month.
- Real ongoing partnership — not a one-off group dropping in for a photo.
- Teens who want to be there — matched to your work on purpose, not by default.
- Join our partner list and become one of the places we send members to serve.
This isn't about logging hours. You're not buying a transcript line. You're paying for the match, the room, and the people in it — for somewhere that's yours. The service is real. The belonging is the point.
TWO THINGS EVERY MONTH
WHAT YOU GET
However a teen arrives, the goal is the same: someone who feels genuinely supported, and adults who stay in the loop.
01
A Service Match That's Actually Yours
Every month we match you with a real local way to serve — pulled from our running list of community partners and built around what you actually care about, not whatever's left over. Show up, do the unglamorous part, be the one who stays. That's service.
02
A Night at the Studio
Once a month the studio is yours for the night — and it's never the same twice. Some are loud and creative (a spooky poetry night in October). Some go deep (an identity night — the kind of conversation you don't get to have anywhere else). Some are all of us serving together (an MLK Day soup-kitchen run in January). A food night. A night you walk out certified in CPR. You don't have to earn it. You just have to come.
Monthly Community Membership · Ages 13–18 · No Cap, No Audition
Fifty dollars is never the reason someone's out. The Lupine Fund covers members who can't pay — no application, just a conversation.
No application, no audition — just enough for us to know who's walking through the door.
