What is a DfG Club?

DfG Clubs turn their knowledge and altruism into action by organizing in their communities to lead local advocacy efforts, participate in community service, fundraise, and influence positive change for menstrual equity. Students develop vital life skills for becoming global citizens, leaders, and advocates in their own communities and abroad.

Who Can Start a DfG Club?

DfG Clubs must be affiliated with a school, university, or Girl Scout Troop. There is no minimum or maximum number of Club members, but all members must be enrolled in the affiliate institution.

Each Club must have a student leader and an adult faculty advisor. Club registration is only available in select countries.

What Do DfG Clubs Do?

While DfG provides resources and suggested projects to help guide you, no two Clubs’ activities look the same. Club activities often include:

• Fundraisers
• Underwear, washcloth, and period product drives
• Advocacy & awareness campaigns
• Local distributions of DfG Kits
• Sponsoring DfG Kit distributions abroad
• Educational programs

DfG Clubs also have access to our exclusive Club Curriculum, which provides students with a facilitated program to expand their knowledge around menstrual equity and engage their community in menstrual health topics.

What’s the Difference Between a DfG Club and a Team?

Like DfG Clubs, DfG Teams engage in service, advocacy, and fundraising to advance menstrual equity. However, while Teams obtain Gold Standard Certification to create DfG Kits, Clubs do not sew DfG Kits independently. Clubs that wish to be involved in DfG Kit productions (be it sewing or packing) can get connected with an existing DfG Team and participate in their Kit production and packing efforts.

DfG Clubs are required to be affiliated with a school, university, or Girl Scout Troop. DfG Teams are grown within the local community and are not required to have any institutional affiliation.
