How Can I Become a Member?
True North Taekwondo is a community service co-operative built on one member, one vote. TNT has one class of Voting Members. Adults aged 18 or older may qualify through pathways for adult students, instructors, active volunteers, parents or legal guardians of participants, or community members with a meaningful connection or contribution to TNT. Each pathway is subject to the Bylaws’ eligibility and admission requirements. Eligible adults apply independently, including more than one adult from the same household. Once formally admitted, each member has one vote and may participate in democratic governance, including electing directors and voting on matters reserved for members, subject to the Bylaws’ good-standing requirements. The Bylaws set a $500 one-time membership fee, separate from program fees, with no annual membership fee. They also provide for lawful financial-access arrangements; payment alone does not create membership. Students who are not Voting Members can contribute through structured student-feedback and student-voice processes. More information, including application details, will be available soon.

Member-Governed. Community-Focused.
Why Become a Member?
TNT was created because we believed a taekwondo school could be built differently.
We wanted a place where excellent instruction comes first, where skilled instructors have the freedom and support to teach well, where decisions are made through clear and accountable governance, where the safety and dignity of students are protected, and where taekwondo is made accessible to as many people as possible.
Membership is one of the ways we keep that vision alive. By becoming a member of True North Taekwondo, you become part of the organization that helps safeguard what TNT was created to provide:
Instructors Who Can Teach
An environment where qualified instructors are supported, respected, and able to focus on teaching and developing students rather than ownership or commercial pressures.
Taekwondo That Is Accessible
We believe financial circumstances, disability, age, experience, or other barriers should not unnecessarily prevent someone from participating. TNT works to expand access through inclusive programming, adaptive instruction, financial assistance, and thoughtful accommodation so more people can experience the benefits of taekwondo.
Good Governance
A member-governed nonprofit co-operative with an elected Board, clear responsibilities, transparent decision-making, and accountability to its members.
Protecting Students
Policies, Safe Sport practices, responsible supervision, accessibility measures, and governance structures designed to put participant wellbeing ahead of convenience or individual interests.
Membership is therefore more than joining a club. It is an opportunity to help protect the kind of organization TNT was created to be — one where excellent taekwondo, good teaching, responsible governance, participant safety, and meaningful access are built into the organization itself.
