Membership
As a Strong Towns member, you’re not just supporting our work, you’re part of it.

Real change starts with people who care about where they live.
Members are the people who make this movement possible.

Real change starts locally.
Members help make it happen.
Strong Towns members come from all walks of life. They include residents, local leaders, elected officials, professionals, business owners, and people who simply care about where they live. What they share is a belief that stronger cities, towns, and neighborhoods are possible—and a desire to help make them a reality.
Membership is not a transaction. It's a commitment to a growing movement working to make cities, towns, and neighborhoods stronger.
When you become a member, you're helping spread these ideas, support local leaders, and create change in communities across North America.
Membership is open to everyone. There is no minimum donation required to join.
Membership is a declaration:
"This work matters. I want to help make it stronger."
Some members lead change in their communities. Others support that work by sharing ideas, connecting people, or providing financial support. Every member helps advance the movement and bring these ideas to more places.
Membership looks different for everyone.
