What’s the benefit of becoming an RCE Explorer member?

Explorer membership gives you a low-risk opportunity to see whether Rachel Carson EcoVillage is the right “fit” for you and a chance to get to know your potential new neighbors.  Explorer members are active members, who are involved in a planning group and full group meetings.  It also entitles you to take part in our social communication platform, social events, and one-on-one meetings with members.  

How do I become an Explorer member?

You complete an online Explorer membership form and pay a non-refundable fee. 

What is the initial fee to become an Explorer member?

It’s $150 per individual, for multi-adult households interested in exploring, it’s strongly recommended that each adult obtain an Explorer membership so as to ensure the full range of benefits of membership for each adult. This is a four month membership. If the initial fee is beyond your budget, we offer a $75 fee instead.

Is it possible to renew my Explorer membership?

Yes.  If you are not ready to become an founding member, you may continue as an Explorer as long as you renew it at $75/quarter, payable by the 5th of each quarter (you’ll receive an email reminder prior to the renewal for your membership as well.)

How do I pay the fee?

Credit/debit card payments are accepted through the membership application form. We can accept payments via PayPal to our email address rachelcarsonecovillage@gmail.com as well.

What if I have other questions?
