Who Can Join Hack Club?

Hack Club is open to all teens aged 13–18, anywhere in the world. That age range is stated directly on hackclub.com, and the projects featured on the site come from members in the US, France, the Philippines, the UK, and elsewhere. If you are outside 13–18, the site does not present a path for you to join directly.

The age requirement

The homepage states plainly: "For all teens aged 13–18." That is the single eligibility rule the site makes explicit. It is not framed as a recommendation or a typical range — it is the stated condition for joining.

A few things follow from that:

• 13 is the floor. The site does not describe any program for younger members.
• 18 is the ceiling. Once you turn 19, you are outside the stated range.
• The range is global. Nothing on the page restricts membership by country.

Who actually takes part

The site's project showcase gives a concrete picture of the membership. Examples listed on the homepage include:

Two things stand out. First, the ages cluster inside the stated 13–18 band, including members at both the top (18) and lower-middle (15) of it. Second, participation is genuinely international — the examples span four countries, and the site describes itself as "the world's largest nonprofit movement of teenagers making cool projects."

The homepage also notes that "100,000 teens started exactly where you are," which is consistent with a large, globally distributed teen membership rather than a local club.

What if you are outside 13–18?

The site does not describe an alternative track for people older or younger than the stated range. If you are 12 or younger, or 19 and older, the homepage gives no indication that you can join directly.

That said, the site is public. The project showcases, the YouTube channel referenced on the homepage ("See more on our YouTube"), and the linked projects themselves are viewable by anyone. So someone outside the age range can still follow the work and use it as a model, even without joining.

How to check your own situation

1. Confirm you fall within 13–18. This is the one hard condition the site states.
2. If you do, the homepage's "Join!" prompt is the entry point — it sits alongside the age line.
3. If you are unsure whether a specific program (Milkyway, Blueprint, Daydream, or others named on the site) has its own additional conditions, check that program's page rather than assuming the general age rule is the whole story.

The short version

• Can join: teens aged 13–18, anywhere on Earth.
• Cannot join directly: anyone outside that range, based on what the site states.
• Not restricted by: country — members come from the US, France, the Philippines, the UK, and beyond.

If you are 13–18, you meet the stated requirement. If you are not, the site offers no direct membership path, though its projects and videos remain open to view.
