About becoming an Explorer:
Become an Explorer and dig deeper. This will give you the opportunity to become involved, attend our business meetings, get to know the group and see how we work together.  

​You will be given a digital handbook, including an extensive preliminary budget and other information about membership and the development process. Additionally, we will invite you to an  orientation that will give you more in-depth details  of our project. 

​Explorer membership is just $100. If you become a full member within 3 months, the $100 will be applied to your household membership fee of $2,000.
