Membership means more than attending
Anyone can experience NOA. Membership is for people who want to become part of the community helping shape it. Applications are open year-round and reviewed weekly.
Lifetime membership
$100 one time.
There are no annual dues or monthly membership charges. Your one-time contribution supports the people, technology, materials, and planning required to keep NOA experiences accessible and intentional.
Your membership includes
Tell us who you hope to meet, what interests you, and what you want more of in your life. We use that information to recommend experiences, create thoughtful groups, and help you connect with the right people.
Members receive early registration for select experiences before they open to the wider community. This gives you a better chance of joining limited-capacity dinners, workshops, outings, and activities.
Enjoy intimate dinners, coffee meetups, small-group conversations, member outings, and other experiences created specifically for members. These smaller gatherings make it easier to move beyond surface-level conversations and build meaningful relationships.
Every member receives a personalized metal badge featuring their name and a custom “Ask Me About…” prompt. It is designed to make starting a genuine conversation feel easier and more natural.
Share what you want to learn, experience, and see in Atlanta. Member input helps us create programming that reflects the real interests and needs of our community.
Go beyond attending by volunteering, hosting, teaching, facilitating, welcoming new members, or helping create an experience. NOA is not simply built for its members; it is built with them.
Members receive the lowest NOA commitment fee when applicable. Small fees may still be used to help us plan accurately, honor capacity, and reduce no-shows.
Pay once and belong for life, with no annual dues or renewal fees. As NOA grows, your membership grows with it.
Why $100? Because accessibility still cost money.
Your one-time contribution helps cover the technology, communications, service supplies, event deposits, and planning that make NOA possible. It also helps us keep most community experiences free or affordable.
​
Membership is not a prepaid ticket package, and small commitment fees may still apply. You are investing in the infrastructure that allows NOA to create community intentionally and keep it accessible.
