BEFORE JOINING, WE RECOMMEND YOU…

1. TAKE A TOOL TRAINING OR CLASS

To access our specialized equipment and workshops, members receive certifications via our tool trainings and classes.

By getting your desired certifications before joining as a member, you make it possible to get to work as soon as you become a member — instead of joining and then waiting for your desired tool training to come around on the calendar.

Tool trainings run regularly and fill up quickly — check out our latest trainings and classes here.

Have previous experience? No problem. Just pass one of our Experienced User Assessments and you can get right to work!

2. ATTEND NEW MEMBER ORIENTATION

Orientations are about 60 minutes long, take place on Zoom, and function as info sessions, virtual tours, online membership training, and Q + A session with a Generator staff person.

Our virtual Member Orientations are required for all new and returning Generator members. Even if you’re simply contemplating membership, attending orientation is an opportunity to get into the weeds of how membership works and ask specific questions about how Generator can support your creative and entrepreneurial projects.

Orientations also cover Generator’s COVID-19 operational procedures and policies.
