Before being a Membership Candidate you would come to Acorn as a Visitor. If interested in membership, the process will be explained when we respond to your visitor request.
Please answer these questions and send them to info@acorncommunity.org if you are interested in coming to Acorn as a Visitor. The emails are checked everyday, but there is a lot to sort through and respond to, so please forgive us if we are late in our response. Thank you.
As a Visitor you may potentially stay for up to 6 months without pursuing membership.
