Chapter Youth Program Re-Launches

The New York-North Jersey Chapter is gearing up to re-launch its chapter youth program, AMC Outings for Urban Kids (AOK), which will link urban youth groups with AMC leaders interested in sharing the wonder and adventure of the outdoors. The program will be targeted to children and teens who may not have had any previous opportunities to explore the natural environment.

If you are interested in becoming a youth activity leader, please contact Richard Barcia at 212-303-8889 (w), (212) 832-0232 (h) or for further information. Please note that all leaders must undergo a background check as well as training, which will be provided by the AMC.

We are also presently looking for at least two chapter youth program coordinators to help supervise the program and serve as liaisons to participating agencies.

We hope that you will consider becoming part of this exciting and rewarding endeavor.

Question: How can I change my address in Club records?

Changing Your Address

        Are you an AMC member who has recently changed your address, phone number, or email address? Do you want to change your chapter affiliation? AMC Headquarters in Boston maintains the master list of members' addresses. When the Chapter mails things to you, the labels we use usually come from the headquarters list. If your entry in the list is not updated correctly by the time labels are printed, your label is wrong. Most of the stuff that we mail is sent less than first class and often not forwarded. Please change your address by sending a short note to:

Appalachian Mountain Club
5 Joy Street
Boston, MA 02108
Sample Label
Sample Label

        In your note, please include your name, current listed address, current listed phone, AMC membership number (from an AMC Outdoors label) and your new address and new phone number, if possible.

        You can also fill out the web-based change-address form at our Boston HQ website.

        It may also be possible to change your address by phone or e-mail. Call (617) 523-0636, and be sure to have your membership number available, or e-mail and include your membership number in your message.

NOTE: If you are being mailed material by one of the Chapter activity committees, such as the Canoe & Kayak Committee newsletter Paddle Splashes, changing your address in the Club database will not change the address that the committee uses. The AMC Headquarters database does not contain information about what activities you participate in and is not the source of activity specific labels. Please also contact your local activity committee to change your address in their records.

NOTE: The Post Office is getting pickier about including apartment numbers in addresses. Yes, your regular mailman knows you - but the temp who's replacing him doesn't. He may find it easier to return the item as "undeliverable" than search for your mailbox. If your apartment number is missing from the address on your mailing label, contact the Club office and fix the omission.
