I need to make a diagram and I got stunted on the verb to use for a club. In this case, 'club' is supposed to be as wide a term as possible, so it could mean anything from a book club to swimming practice (at an actual sports club, for example) or even to Sunday School (assuming it as a religious 'club activity').
I've got:
(Person A) works at (work place)
(Person A) studies at (school)
(Person A) volunteers at (association)
(Person A) ???? at (club)
I know the expression to use would be 'is a member of', but I need an action verb. For now, I'm stuck with 'participates' but it doesn't feel right.

If it’s Sunday School, you wouldn’t use ‘is a member of’ – that wouldn’t be called a ‘club’ to begin with. You can belong to a club, but again, only if it’s an actual club with memberships and such (or a library, but that’s slightly different).

If an action rather than a stative verb like belong to is required, I'd suggest:
- (Person A) goes to (club)
This does not denote an action performed within the club premises but indicates that the person takes part in activities carried out there.

I think that best verb for this, which has two senses that apply, is patronize:
1 : to act as patron of : provide aid or support for
// The government patronized several local artists.
3 : to be a frequent or regular customer or client of a restaurant
// much patronized by celebrities
In terms of a club, if you are a member, then you have paid your dues in order to support it (following the first listed sense of patronize) and be able to have access to it as a customer or client (the other listed sense of patronize).
In your sentence, the pronoun would be dropped:
(Person A) patronizes (club).
