Welcome!

We are excited to have you apply for DPCA membership as a Junior member. Junior membership is open to all persons not less than ten years of age nor older than eighteen years of age who otherwise meet the requirements for Active Membership. Junior Members shall pay dues, but may not vote, hold any elected office or be a member of the Board of Directors. Once you turn 18, you will no longer be eligible for Junior membership. At that time, you will need to fill out a application for Active Membership.

Your application will not be sent to the Membership Secretary until you and both of your sponsors complete the application. It is your responsibility to ensure your sponsors complete their portion within 30 days.

Be sure to contact your sponsors for permission and let them know an invitation to complete the Sponsor Form will be sent to their email.

To ensure important emails are properly delivered and not sent to spam, we recommend you add DPCAMembershipSecretary@dpca.org email to your email’s safe sender list.
