MEMBERSHIP
Indiana Leather Club is a fraternal organization that has a very strong community, education, and charitable works component. We are not a traditional "entry level" BDSM organization because our primary focus is not the physical activities that draw most people into the community initially. That said, we welcome participants and prospective members from all levels of experience who are interested in exploring a Leather path.
We offer two membership levels: Full and Supporting.
Membership Types
Full Member
A voting member of the club, with all rights and responsibilities. Full members are expected to regularly participate in the activities of the club. To apply for Full membership, the applicant must have been a Prospect for at least 12 months.
​
Prospect
For applicants who have not previously been Full members of ILC. Prospects are expected to regularly participate in the activities of the club and to attend at least 50% of the orientation sessions offered. Prospects do not vote or hold office.
Supporting Member
Supporting membership is for those who wish to attend some club functions and support the goals of the club but are not prepared to invest the significant time and energy expected of Prospect and Full members.
​
Supporters do not vote or hold office and are not required to complete a Prospect period.

Mentorship
The mentorship program is designed to train future leaders and volunteers, to provide a path of growth to people who are ready to move beyond the basics and to set the expectation of community service as a core value of Indiana Leather Club. Mentees will be guided through learning and volunteer opportunities that will help them become more useful to the local community and help them grow personally. There are four mentorship tracks.
