BCGA's offerings comprise three annual membership tiers — Family/Volunteer Guardian at $75, Individual Professional at $150, and Organizational at $250 (covering two representatives with $50 per additional) — plus community programs including the Make My Ward's Day wish-granting initiative, a $50 Gift Card Program for indigent wards, and the Pro Bono Wheel Program that funds guardians accepting pro bono cases. Membership is administered through the FSGA portal, and engagement is driven by recurring quarterly Education Day events, "A View From The Bench" sessions with local judges, and an annual calendar of topical professional development workshops delivered across Broward County venues.
