Membership

The Open Education Association is the national membership organization for people who create, use, and advocate for open educational resources and practices. Membership connects you to a community of practitioners across the country, gives you a voice in the association's direction, and supports the field-level work that makes individual efforts more effective.

Join today to build the national voice for open education.

How to Become a Member

Membership is open to anyone whose work or interests connect to open education. The association's work focuses on the United States, so most members are US-based. Membership renews annually, and members choose from three dues tiers based on their personal circumstances. All paid tiers include the same benefits to support equal participation.

For details, see our frequently asked questions and terms & conditions.
