Tour the Shed: Contact us for an appointment, and we will show you around the Shed and workshop space, introduce you to some other members, and cover the shop safety procedures.

 

Application Form: Complete a simple application form that includes basic contact information.

 

Membership fee: There are two levels of membership. One includes full access to the social room and the Popo Shop for community service and social activities. The second adds extended hours and the provision to work on personal projects. In addition, members are encouraged to be “cheerful givers” – contributing financially , by dedicating their time, or by offering knowledge and skills. 

 

If you cannot pay the membership fee, we still want you to join. Reach out to us and we will make an alternate arrangement.

 

Attend: In your first few months as a Shed member, we encourage you to attend as often as possible so we can introduce you to other members, and make sure you have found your place to fit in and contribute.

 

Join a project team: Once you’ve familiarized yourself with the Shed and different projects, you may be interested in joining a team on a collective community project. We’ll have a member explain all that to you and guide you through the orientation process.

 

Safety: We're serious about safety at The Shed!  We'll review our safety policy and program we require of all members, so they can operate the equipment safely, and keep the tools and machines clean and working for all that use them.

 

Optional Activities: The Shed has various different events throughout the year. We often get together to celebrate the completion of a community project, we host a lot of barbeques to welcome and introduce new members to the group, and we hold workshops, courses and webinars on topics ranging from brain & body health to specialized tool training. And don’t be surprised to see card game afternoons and other activities happening around here.
