# Assembly by Schola > Assembly is the modern program management platform for community organizations, camps, clubs, nonprofits, parks & rec, and enrichment providers — publish programs, manage registration and waitlists, run secure forms, and collect payments in one place. Assembly by Schola is software for organizations that run programs for families. It replaces the patchwork of spreadsheets, paper waivers, email threads, and standalone checkout links most teams outgrow as they scale. One platform handles publishing programs, taking registrations, running waitlists, collecting medical forms and waivers, processing secure payments and payment plans, and communicating with families before and during the season. ## Pages - [Home](/): What Assembly is, who it's for, and how it replaces spreadsheets and paper forms. - [Who We Serve](/who-we-serve): Camps, clubs, parks & rec, nonprofits, enrichment providers, and community organizations that run Assembly. - [Plans & Pricing](/pricing): Free, Pro, and Enterprise tiers — pricing, transaction fees, and what's included at each level. - [Field Notes](/articles): Practical writing on running programs, registration, waitlists, and trust-building with families. - [FAQs](/faqs): Common questions about Assembly — what it does, security, getting started, pricing. - [About](/about): Mission, the team, and the story behind Assembly and Schola. ## Articles - [Summer Camp Registration That Actually Fills](/articles/summer-camp-registration-that-fills): Practical guide to running camp registration families finish. - [Waitlists That Actually Convert](/articles/waitlists-that-convert): Turn a static waitlist into an automatic backfill system. - [Program Management Without the Spreadsheets](/articles/program-management-without-spreadsheets): What a real program platform replaces, and what you get back. - [Five Ways to Build a Program Families Actually Trust](/articles/build-a-program-families-trust): Operational choices that decide whether families complete registration. - [The Ultimate Guide to Choosing Camp Management Software](/articles/choosing-camp-management-software): Buyer's guide for camp directors moving off spreadsheets and paper forms. ## What Assembly does - **Programs & catalog**: Publish programs and sessions families can find and understand in seconds. - **Registration & waitlists**: Linear sign-up that finishes on a phone; automated waitlist backfill when spots open. - **Forms & waivers**: Medical forms, waivers, and custom fields collected during registration and flagged when missing. - **Payments**: Secure payment processing with payment plans, sibling discounts, scholarships, refunds, and transfers. - **Family communications**: Confirmations, reminders, and updates before and during the season. - **Operations dashboard**: Real-time enrollment, revenue, and capacity visibility for directors and boards. ## Who uses Assembly - Summer camps and seasonal program operators - Youth sports clubs and recreation departments - Parks & rec departments - Enrichment and after-school providers - Nonprofits and community organizations serving youth and families - K-12 schools (public, charter, private) running extracurricular programs ## Pricing Assembly is free to start, with low per-transaction fees and no setup costs or long-term contracts.
