ABOUT CORE MEMBERSHIP
Superhero Clubhouse (SHC) Core Members is a group of 10-20 trusted, multi-hyphenate individuals who are in regular dialogue around– and in regular engagement with– SHC’s mission, ideas, and programming. Core Members are our closest community; we support each other, learn and create with each other, and have fun together. Core Members are keystone species in the SHC ecosystem.
Core Members are invited to make a two-year commitment, with the option to renew beyond that. Within those two years, Core Members are asked to engage with Superhero Clubhouse once a month, choosing from a menu of options that have been built to offer flexibility and variety. Engagement options include activities like hosting a field trip, participating in an environmental racism learning group, or solo response to a creative prompt.
