# Activate organizations or families

## Organizations and families group several members under one entity and are activated in the Members settings.

Available with the Plus plan.

Organizations group several members together. In each organization, one or more members have [**administrator**](https://support.yapla.com/en-ca/add-an-organization-administrator?hsLang=en-ca) status, which lets them add or remove members. [**Representative**](https://support.yapla.com/en-ca/add-an-organization-representative?hsLang=en-ca) status gives a single member (the representative) responsibility for paying the memberships of all members of the organization.

Organizations are activated under **Members \> Settings**.

In the **Advanced functions** sub-menu, check the boxes that activate organizations:

Once organizations are activated, an **Organizations** section appears in the Members settings. Use it to configure how organizations work and the forms related to them.

Under **Members \> Settings \> Membership Types**, the **Type** tab of each membership type then offers **Organization** alongside **Individual**. If you group families, this choice is named after families instead.

The **Organizations** section of the Members application lists your existing organizations and lets you add new ones.
