• Cohorts have structured meeting times over their duration. Specific times will be named once you choose a cohort.

• There will be opportunities to meet in-person or online.

• There are ongoing opportunities to continue cohort work.

All participants contribute financially through a monthly sliding scale fee. No one attends for free. Everyone invests in the space in the way they can.

Sliding Scale Tiers:

• $25/month – Sustaining the Work → For those who can contribute a little more while balancing other financial responsibilities.

• $45/month – Resourcing the Movement → For those with financial stability who can support at a sustaining level.

• $65/month – Redistributing Access → For those with greater financial privilege who can help remove barriers for others.

Payment Guidelines:

• Participants self-select their tier based on guided descriptions.

• Payments are due at the start of each month.

• If finances feel tight, please don’t carry that alone. Reach out, and we will work with you—this is a shared space, and we hold each other with care.

• Cohort Commitment: By enrolling, participants are committing to the full six-month cohort. If a participant chooses to withdraw before the cohort ends, they are still responsible for paying the full six months of fees, regardless of early departure. 

• All participants must volunteer monthly, selecting roles that support the group and Unity Project’s work.

• Roles include event support, admin help, outreach, tech/media, and logistical support.

• Volunteers sign up each month based on availability and capacity.

• This is a community-led space—participants check in with each other if commitments are missed.

• If someone does not meet their payment or volunteer commitment, they will:

  1. Receive a check-in from their peers (first step).

  2. Be given an opportunity to make up missed contributions (if applicable).

  3. Receive admin follow-up if non-participation continues.

  4. Lose access to the affinity group if commitments remain unmet.
