Involvement in the organization is purely voluntary, just like in any civil society organization — but membership requires involvement in major activities, both online and on-site, depending on availability and presence of members or volunteers in your country.

Membership also gives access to platforms and networks the ATO is a member of — a way for young professionals to engage further in opportunities.
