How do I Become A Member?
Membership is available to volunteers who pledge to do at least 24 hours of volunteer service during the year. People generally do some volunteering first before filling out the member registration form. Membership application can be found here. You can also reach out to Maya DeAvilla, our Community Engagement Coordinator, (maya@theveraproject.org) for questions regarding Membership.
What Are Members Meetings?
The Membership body meetings quarterly (every January, April, July, October). At these meetings, people from all facets of Vera come together (volunteers, members, staff, instructors etc. ), to give updates, and talk about the future of Vera! These meetings are open to the public, so you can stop by and learn more before committing to anything. This is a great opportunity to meet your fellow volunteers, and talk to people in the different programs we offer. You can also fill out paperwork, and get your membership card.
