Your first 7 days are free. Everything open, no card.
Write to as many women as you like, back and forth as often as you like, for a full week. Every room, every class. There's no card on file, so there's nothing to cancel and nothing to catch you out.
Bring a friend, and we'll add 30 free days.
Every woman who joins on your invitation adds another 30 days free to your own membership - no limit on how many, and it's added the moment she walks in. Your invitation link lives on your profile page.
Free for a week. Then $19 a month.
Come in and use everything for 7 days - unlimited letters, no rationing, no "here are your three." After that, dues keep the Club going, and you can cancel in two clicks without talking to anyone.
The women who teach our classes
Every class is led by a woman who knows her subject, and she is paid properly for her time. That is where most of your dues go.
Keeping the site running
Hosting, the letters, the safety watching, the emails that tell you someone wrote to you - all of it costs money every single month.
A real person watching the rooms
No ads, no data selling, no algorithm. Someone reads what gets flagged and steps in. That only works if members pay for it.

Who can join
The Porchlight Club is for women 55 and over. We run on the honor system - at signup you'll simply confirm that you're a woman 55 or over, and we take you at your word. If you're under 55, we'll tell you kindly and keep your email so we can let you know if that ever changes.
