Pokemon Club
Create opportunities for kids to build life skills through their passion for Pokémon.
What is Pokémon Club?
Pokémon Club is a program that helps kids build foundational life skills by playing the Pokémon Trading Card Game (TCG) and participating in other Pokémon-themed activities. These clubs are hosted by libraries, schools, and youth organizations, providing inclusive, welcoming spaces for young players to think strategically, develop their social-emotional skills, and form lasting friendships with fellow Pokémon fans.
