Catch families in the 30 seconds you have

At pickup, parents are in and out so quickly that the update you meant to hand over goes home in a backpack instead. ClassDojo puts it on their phone: a message, a photo from the club room, a reminder the whole club sees, in the language each family reads.

Emre's been a great helper! He even stayed after today to help clean up.

One place for everything your club sends

Every club site, one account

Directors manage every site from a single account, send an announcement that reaches all families at once, and follow a real-time feed of updates from across the organization.

Staff management and messaging

Unlimited free staff licenses, with roles and permissions you set. Keep your team in the loop with staff messaging instead of another group chat.

Family messages, sent on your schedule

Write the message when you have a minute, then schedule it to arrive at an hour that respects a family's evening. Every message translates automatically into 190+ languages, and it's a written record of what you shared and when.

Families are already here

Millions of parents already use ClassDojo with their child's school, so connecting them to your club takes minutes. No new app to download, no sign-up sheet to chase.

Events and Sign-ups

Create events with sign-up and volunteer slots, send reminders families actually see, and sync it all with Google Calendar.

Photo and video sharing

Share photos and videos from the gym, the garden, and the club room so families can see their kids thriving. If your club's photo policy says no photos, everything else works exactly the same.

Attendance

Check members in and out in one tap, with daily attendance reports ready for your records.

Canva Newsletters

Build the club newsletter in Canva and send it from ClassDojo, so it lands in the same place as everything else your families get from you.

Simple for every staff member

New staff and part-time staff get started in minutes, with no training day and no IT ticket.

Top of the class for privacy

We put privacy and trust first. We never share students’ information with advertisers, and we use the latest and best security practices to keep you safe at all times.

Download the app

Free for your staff and your families. Share updates in seconds, schedule messages for later, and see when families have read them.

Frequently asked questions

Is ClassDojo free for our club?

Yes — ClassDojo is free for your club, your staff, and your families, at every site you run. ClassDojo offers optional services directly to families, like ClassDojo Plus and Dojo Tutor, and that's what keeps it free for everyone else. We never sell personal information, and we never share it with advertisers.

Which age groups does ClassDojo work for?

Clubs use ClassDojo with every age they serve, from elementary members through teens. Club staff choose what each group sees, so the club room and the teen center don't have to look the same.

How do our staff get set up?

Each staff member creates an account and sets up their group in a few minutes — no IT project, no training day.

How do families join?

Staff share an invite link or code, and families connect from the free app on their phone. Many families already use ClassDojo with their child's school, so there's often nothing new to download at all.

How is our program's data protected?

Your program's information belongs to your program. ClassDojo is COPPA-compliant, never sells personal information, and never shares it with advertisers — see our privacy and security page for the full detail.

Can directors see what staff share with families?

Yes. Authorized admins can review communication records, helping directors stay informed and support their teams.

We run more than one club site. How does that work?

Each site runs its own groups, while directors manage them all from one account. You can send an announcement to every family in the organization or to a single site, and see a real-time feed of updates from across your sites. Most clubs start with one site and add the rest once staff have seen how it works.

Our club has a strict photo policy. Can we still use ClassDojo?

Yes. Photos are optional. Plenty of programs use ClassDojo only for messages, announcements, reminders, and attendance, and never post a single photo. Staff choose what to share, and families see only what your team sends.

Is ClassDojo affiliated with Boys & Girls Clubs of America?

No. ClassDojo isn't affiliated with or endorsed by Boys & Girls Clubs of America. It's a free app that club staff and families choose on their own to stay connected.
