Time committment averages from 1 - 3 hours a week for 3 months.
We charge a membership fee for a few reasons. First, we have found that it ensures our members are committed. Without a membership fee, members would sign up with the best intentions, but not stay committed. Because we are working on real projects for nonprofits working on the ground with those in-need, it is extremely important that members fulfill their committment of staying in the program. Second, charging a program fee is what actually enables us to run the program. See exactly how we use the funds below.
Your donation goes straight back into amaxa to enable us to keep running - and growing - our community. Right now, 45% of the program cost covers the administration, operations, and software development that allows us to run the program. The other 55% of the program cost goes to growing our members. These activities include: recruiting expert mentors, providing more opportunities for students like conferences, scholarships, college credit, and travel opportunities, and ensuring all students unable to pay the program fee receive scholarships.
