We encourage our constituents to become an OPEN member and add your voice to public education conversation. Members get a wide variety of bonuses, like opportunities to write for our publications and staff support in starting their own working group. From civic advocacy seminars to comprehensive resources access, OPEN staff provides value-added supports and members become the guiders and drivers of their agenda. The value added in membership is access to trained and skilled organizers, knowledgeable policy analysis, and a broad network of community members who are involved in education and working to change the way decisions are made. Contact our Community Organizer to become a member today.
Membership Types:
Individual $10 / month
Student $25 / year plus 10 volunteer hours
Group / Organization $20 / month plus 25 volunteer hours
Corporate $500/year plus 50 volunteer hours
Beyond membership, there is a wealth of ways to get involved in the OPEN movement. You can visit our calendar to find upcoming events to attend or volunteer to it. You can also get involved in one of our programs, such as hosting a presentation from Ready, Set, Go! or applying to participate in the Parent Leadership Training Institute.
