Default worth learning to fly gliders?

Haven't actually flown VFR much for years, except while instructing. I
really only fly to go somewhere, but have been toying with the idea of a
glider rating for a while. Is it worth it? The glider clubs I've
talked to find out I'm an A&P and want me to maintain their aircraft,
something I'm not willing to do. Are clubs the only way to fly gliders?
I kind of just want to do my lesson and go home, and not worry about
"working" at the airfield.
