Common questions

Membership FAQ.

Any parent, caregiver, or professional connected to a gifted child is welcome, whether your child is formally identified or you’re still exploring what giftedness means for your family.

Free or discounted access to events, plus member-only resources: the family member directory, local gifted resources, summer programs, and homeschooling and enrichment ideas.

Yes. Many of our kids’ and parent events are open to newcomers, so you can see if CGCC is a fit before you join.

Plan an event around what families near you want: a kids’ meetup built on a shared interest, or a parent night for support and connection. CGCC provides registration, payment handling, marketing, and event insurance so you can focus on the people in the room.

CGCC is entirely volunteer-run. Dues go to programs and infrastructure: web site operations, the registration system, event insurance, and background checks for organizers.
