Membership Offerings

We offer three tiers of membership: community, monthly, and annual.

All memberships require an application (see below) and in-person interview. This process is intended to be neither exclusive nor exhaustive. Rather, it’s an opportunity to get to know prospective members, welcome them into the collective, and confirm it’s a mutual fit. If membership costs are prohibitive, we offer work/study and sliding-scale opportunities, as available. We encourage you to inquire below.
