Answer:

Yes! You can join RAMPD as a Community Member at no cost.

In order to become a Professional Member of RAMPD, we only accept individuals who identify as having a disability, neurodivergence or other chronic condition at this time. This is because only Pro Members can vote on leadership, program and policies, and join and run our leadership.

We pride ourselves on being disability-run by those with true disability lived experience, as opposed to being run by paretns or caregivers. However, supporters, parents, caregivers etc are always welcome to get involved beyond Community Membership, by potentially volunteering or joining Pro Member Task Forces (inquiry within for more information on Task Forces).
