How do I become an Access Member?

To become a Noisebridge Access Member, ask around to find a Core Member who will sponsor you.

One or more Core Members find you to be awesome and excellent to the space. You along with these Core Members then come to a Tuesday meeting to introduce who you are and to ask for 24-hour access. If at least one Core Member sponsors you and no Core Member blocks, you've passed the vetting process. The last but important bit we ask of you is that you please make a reoccurring donation of a recommended $100 a month (possible sliding scale; talk to the Treasurer or Secretary for more details).

Once resolved, you and your sponsoring Core Member can return to a Tuesday meeting to retry. As always, non-Core Members can ask a Core Member to act as a proxy.
