SoFA Membership
Why join Sociocracy For All?
To become part of an international community of people who are working to share sociocracy widely.
We work together, we support each other, and we share resources. Circles decide together and make things happen. We organize activities such as karaoke, and every once in a while, we just hang out in a video call to spend time together and to get to know each other more.

Membership Qualifications
Not sure about your sociocracy level?
When you join SoFA, you join as a volunteer in a working organization. While we hope your participation will contribute to your learning, you are not joining a training program. We expect members to understand sociocracy well enough to function effectively in a sociocratic organization. We determine in your interview whether your experience is sufficient to qualify you for membership, and if we decide that it is not, we help you identify what you can do to get the necessary experience. Folks who have the following experience are considered fully qualified to join SoFA:
- alumni of Sociocracy Leadership Training.
- alumni of both the Introduction to Sociocracy + Facilitation courses online
- participants in equivalent level training by organizations other than SoFA
If you have other relevant experience, let’s talk!
