We are excited to announce that we are now accepting new NASA Exchange-JSC Clubs. A new Club Manual and updated policies have been developed to ensure consistency, inclusivity, and alignment with NASA Exchange-JSC standards.

As part of our updated club guidelines, we require all clubs to resubmit the new documentation to ensure alignment with current policies. The acknowledgment form and required documents included must be signed and returned before your Club events are hosted at the Gilruth Center.

Highlights of the updated policies that must be included in your required documents include:

1. Club Names – Recognized club names should reflect a spirit of inclusivity and a willingness to welcome broad membership.
2. Membership – Club membership shall be open to the community at large and shall not be restricted based on any protected characteristic, such as race, color, religion, sex, national origin, age, disability, genetic information, or pregnancy, childbirth, or related medical condition.
3. Participation – Participation in Recognized Club activities and events shall be open to the community at large and not limited, either explicitly or functionally, by any protected characteristics, such as race, color, religion, sex, national origin, age, disability, genetic information, or pregnancy, childbirth or related medical condition.

We appreciate your cooperation as we implement these important updates to foster an inclusive and welcoming environment across all clubs.

Purpose

Clubs promote and develop the interests and skills of their members in a specific area. Clubs can be competitive, recreational, or just social fun. 

Clubs are required to follow specific guidelines outlined by the NASA Exchange-JSC.
Clubs are also required to have a strong following to sustain the club. 
Clubs must appoint officers (president and vice-president) that are NASA-JSC badged. However, if more non-badged officers are needed that is permitted.  The club officers shall develop a specific constitution dedicated to its club for its members to follow. Clubs must have a minimum base of 10 members who are NASA-JSC badged (this may include retirees who have a NASA-JSC retiree badge). After the 10 base members, the remaining club members can be comprised of 50/50 NASA-JSC badged and non-badged members. 

Mission Statement

The mission of the NASA Exchange-JSC Clubs is to provide NASA employees, partners, contractors, and their families with the opportunity to learn, practice, compete, and socialize for fun and/or at various competitive levels while developing organizational and leadership skills of their chosen area of interest. 

How to Start a Club

To register a group to become an official club follow the club manual. All groups must have a minimum of ten dedicated NASA-JSC badged individuals (badged members) ready to participate in the club.

Once all the documents from the Club Manual check-list are completed please email them to : jsc-starport-reservations@mail.nasa.gov
