Finding Clubs & Organizations

← All Help guides
What this is: Searching for and browsing clubs, societies, and other organizations on the site — not just "clubs" in the narrow sense. This search actually covers every kind of organization the site supports: Clubs, Societies, Associations, Federations, Study Circles, Institutions, Foundations, Online Communities, general Organisations, and Postal/Government bodies.
Where: Tap "Clubs" (or "Directory," depending on where you are) in the main menu.
  1. To search by name: type into the search box at the top and tap the magnifying glass.
  2. To narrow the list down instead, tap one of the filter icons: Location (pick a country, State appears too if India), Type (which kind of organization), Subtype (a more specific category within the Type you've picked).
  3. Tapping any icon opens a box below it with its own search bar and a list — type to narrow it down, then tap the one you want.
  4. Every filter you've picked shows as a small removable tag, with an option to clear all of them at once.

Understanding the Result Cards

  • Tapping anywhere on the card takes you to that organization's page.
  • Logo — their picture, or their initials if they haven't added one.
  • A badge in the corner tells you one of two things: if you're already a member, it shows your own status with them (like "Member," or pending approval); if not, it shows the club's own status: "Verified" (confirmed real by our team), "To Reverify" (was verified before but needs checking again), or "Unclaimed" (nobody has taken ownership of this listing yet).
  • Name, and below it their country flag and state.
  • Type and Subtype shown as small text.
  • Three icons (heart to like, plus/checkmark to follow, and share) — same as on a person's card, and the heart/follow only show if you're logged in.
