Become a member of our cooperative

LifeSchoolHouse Annual Membership

For those who believe in community-rooted learning, shared resources, and collective care.

A LifeSchoolHouse membership is for individuals who want to actively support and steward a non-profit cooperative grounded in belonging, participation, and sustainability. It is for people who value local wisdom, skill-sharing, and stronger, more connected communities.

Membership is not required to take part in LifeSchoolHouse programs or events. Our workshops and activities remain open and accessible to the wider public.

Membership offers a deeper level of involvement: supporting the long-term resilience of the cooperative through annual contribution, shared stewardship, and ongoing connection to our mission and values.

Members participate in governance, receive updates and annual reports, and engage in shaping the future direction of LifeSchoolHouse through member conversations and the Annual General Meeting.

If you want to help sustain this work over time and be part of its ongoing stewardship, membership is one meaningful way to do so.
