Why Membership?

Umi is a 1st and 14th Amendment Private Membership Association: a unique business model in the US that combines for-profit sustainability with non-profit spirit and some of the best protections for our members and providers available.

Not only does PMA status allow us to offer services anywhere in the US from anywhere else in the US, it saves valuable time and money that we can put back into the community.

Membership Benefits

Here are a few of the benefits of membership at Umi.

- - Access to all Community Programs for free!
  - Access to all services, classes, programs, and events.
  - Access to community spaces [as they exist] at no extra cost.
  - The option to apply for financial support for services based on low income and/or financial distress.
  - Discounts and special promotions.
  - Access to information and support from Navigators, including reasonable observation and playtime with children during caregiver’s appointments.

Step 1: Apply!

Our application is very simple, and speaks to the heart of your story, needs and interest. It helps us get to know you. Take a look here!

Once your application is affirmed, you will receive an email welcoming you to the center, sending a couple forms (see below) and your next steps.

Step 2: Sign & Send!

Sign your membership contract, your legal protections*, and community covenant. Then email them in, then pay your one-time membership fee.

Membership fees are lifetime – only pay once. Here’s the breakdown:

- - Individual $75.00
  - Families of 2 or more joining together – $60.00/person
  - Low Income/Financial Distress – $45.00

*The protections of a private membership association are legally sealed by the financial transaction of joining members. It provides hard evidence for any federal or state institutions that would seek to limit our activates or gather fees for our activities.

If you feel you are in our low income or financial crisis category, give details to your Navigator or Advocate, and our office staff will specifically contact you to help get approval for the lower membership fee rate.

Step 3: Affirming Membership

Once we receive your signed contract as a .pdf or scanned copy, it will be reviewed by the office of the Director for a final affirming signature.

Congratulations! You’re now a member of the Umi Family!!!

Let’s get you settled in.
