The Tim VanSant Makership LVL1's Makership Program

Note: This program is funded completely through donations and NOT through our membership dues.

• We currently have enough funds to offer a Makership. Please submit an application to become a member of LVL1! See our treasurer, make a donation.
• Members: please talk up the Makership to potential new members. Makerships are a good way to interest minorities and women in LVL1. Emphasize the experience and the opportunity. Getting a project done is less important.
• Makership Application Deadline is the last day of each month @ 11:59 PM.
• Submit your project for a chance to win 3 months of LVL1 membership and a $100 reimbursement toward your project expenses.
• Apply at www.lvl1.org/makership. Also, send any questions about how to submit a successful application to www.lvl1.org/makership. We want to award a Makership!
• If your application is not approved, PLEASE revise and resubmit next month.
• If you would like to donate ($5/mo) to this worthy cause, see one of the directors and we can set you up!
