Upd 8/7: We originally were going to wait to add additional membership options until after the launch date, but with the announcement of our grand opening date, we have chosen to make all membership options live now.

We do not anticipate any membership rate increases at this time.  If we do need to raise rates (which we sincerely hope we don't for a while!), then Founders Members who signed up before Sept 1 will keep the same rates as a thank you for your early support.

Anywho who signed up before Sept 1 were charged again on Oct 1 and will continue on the first of each month moving forward.  Anyone who signs up for a membership now will be charged again on that date each month (e.g., if you sign up on Oct 5, you will be charged again on Nov 5, and so on).

The location will only be sent privately to attendees.  The space is located in the North Jackson area.

We will have Club Monitors (please see above for volunteering information), a security code lock at the door, mandatory modules, applications, a membership handbook, and more to ensure that our space is safe and secure.

No, the Club will NOT accept walk-ins for play parties to ensure that members are safe and vetted.  Non-members will be allowed to attend Light track (non-play) events.  Membership will be required for Shadow track (play) events.

Memberships will be open to anyone 21+, regardless of relationship status, and regardless if you're into kink, BDSM, polyamory, ENM, queer, or curious.

To maintain appropriate professional boundaries and prevent ethical conflicts of interest, clinical clients of Equinox Counseling are permitted to attend select public, light-track events—such as community meets and educational workshops—hosted at or affiliated with Youngstown After Dark.

Mandatory Consultation & Confidentiality

Prior to attending any light-track event, clients must engage in a conversation with their clinician to outline clear expectations, boundary protocols, and mutual understanding. Your clinician will strictly respect your confidentiality and privacy in all shared space settings; to safeguard your privacy, your clinician will not initiate contact or acknowledge the therapeutic relationship in community environments.

Membership & Restricted Access Prohibitions

Clients are strictly prohibited from becoming formal members of Youngstown After Dark, applying for membership, or attending any members-only events, private hours, or restricted gatherings for the duration of clinical care and for a minimum of five years following the termination of therapy.

Attempting to obtain membership, attending restricted members-only events, or failing to adhere to pre-established boundary agreements creates an unresolvable dual relationship. Such actions will require immediate clinical reassessment, revocation of venue access, and potential termination of the therapeutic relationship with appropriate external referral.
