Keep standards.
Membership is for adults who want to grow into more dependable neighbors, teammates, and family members through shared values, disciplined participation, and practical contribution.
What membership means
A commitment, not a label.
Members support the mission and values of Arx Fortis, complete a membership application, and agree to uphold the organization’s bylaws, code of conduct, and safety standards.
Membership may include background screening as determined by the Membership Committee. This protects the community and the people who participate in it.
The application, medical information, and emergency-contact materials are handled through the organization’s private membership process.
