FAQs

Q Who is eligible to join Asmbly?

Everyone! Asmbly is a nonprofit community makerspace serving Austin’s artisans, creatives, craftspeople. We hope you’ll join us.

Q Are there age restrictions for becoming a member?

We currently require all members be at least 18 years old. Minors are permitted to visit the space as a guest of a member, but they may not use any tools or equipment.

Q How much does a membership cost?

Membership is $75/month, or $750/year.

Q Do you offer membership discounts for families?

Yep! For family members living under the same roof, the primary member will pay the normal $75/month and each additional member of the household who wishes to join will pay $40/mo. Each family member is required to have their own Neon account and complete all of the How to Join Asmbly steps. Just send an email to membership@asmbly.org before purchasing a membership and we’ll do some behind the scenes magic to provide the discounted rate.

Q Do I have to sign a long term contract? What’s the cancellation policy?

We don’t require contracts. Memberships are billed every 30 days and members are free to cancel anytime through their member portal. Our most common membership is $75/month. We don’t prorate early cancellations; stated differently, 30 days is the shortest membership term we currently offer.

Q Is there a paid staff that helps with shop maintenance and cleaning?

No! But great question. We’re a 100% volunteer-run, volunteer-managed, volunteer-everything’d organization. We expect members to clean up 110% after each work session. That means clean up your work table or work area and then do a few minutes more to keep the shop spaces clean and safe. Working in a community shop space is full of great benefits – good project advice and free how-to’s are just a few – but it also requires planning ahead for things like cleanup. Please budget 15 minutes for cleanup because, unlike your garage or home shop, you can’t just turn off the light and walk out.
