Chautauqua Institution’s YouTube Membership Tiers Are Changing YouTube Changes

Chautauqua Institution’s YouTube channel is introducing a new membership structure designed to strengthen the sustainability of our digital programming and make it easier for viewers to choose their level of access.

You know the value of Chautauqua’s programming — and we heard you, time and time again in recent months, when you said that the ability to experience that programming online is important to you.

Now, we’re asking for your help in securing the future of this work and the experience of Chautauqua at your fingertips. The easiest way to do that is to join at the sustaining membership level, where your contribution will ensure that the quality of our online programs is of the caliber you deserve.

Here are the ways you can support us:

Beginning this fall, Chautauqua’s YouTube channel will feature three new membership tiers that replace the “CHQ Assembly” name and align with our mission of exploring the best in human values —

  • “Explore More & Sustain” – $19.99/month Get full access to livestreams and on-demand viewing all year long — anytime, anywhere — while helping to sustain the continued capture and sharing of Chautauqua’s lectures and programs.
  • “Explore More” – $9.99/month Watch livestreamed programming during the summer season, with full on-demand access to the complete season beginning Sept. 1 of that year.
  • “Explore” – $4.99/month Enjoy ad-free access to Chautauqua’s growing video archive and receive monthly releases of content — reliving the most recent Chautauqua season with a week of programs made available month by month from September through May.

If you are already a member of our YouTube channel, thank you! You can manage or update your membership by visiting www.youtube.com/paid_memberships. If you aren’t already a member, please consider becoming one by visiting www.youtube.com/chautauquainstitution/join on any web browser. (Additional fees may apply if you join through the YouTube app on Apple devices.)

Finally, it’s important to note that the $2.99/month tier — what was known as CHQ Assembly and now “The Archive Collection” — will be discontinued and access to programs under that tier are being limited. For unlimited and continued access to the

content you’ve come to expect from our digital stages, upgrade now to the “Explore More & Sustain” tier to help support and preserve Chautauqua’s online programming.

With your sustaining membership, we can continue providing year-round access and move toward a model that reflects the true value of our content; supports the future of our video productions; and brings Chautauqua Institution’s quality programming to audiences everywhere.

For questions, contact our helpdesk at assemblysupport@chq.org.
