<p>Membership is not automatically a deployment program. Some roles, credentials, authorizations, and restricted memberships require AFRN review before activation.</p>

Interested in Response?

Membership is the foundation. Response, instructor, Training Counselor, and restricted access pathways may require additional review, credentials, or training.

Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

Is membership a responder program?

No. Membership is the foundation for access, training, credentials, and member tools. Responder programs, deployment roles, instructor authorizations, and restricted access may require additional review or training.

What is my AFRN member number used for?

Your member number is used across AFRN membership, training, credentials, instructor status, and certificates.

Why do some memberships require approval?

Instructor, Training Counselor, Law Enforcement, Organization, Founding, and Specialty memberships may require AFRN review because they can involve credentials, restricted access, organization eligibility, or authorization pathways.

Is membership tax-deductible?

Membership is generally treated as a value-based membership, not a charitable donation. AFRN may provide separate donation options where applicable.

Can I change or renew my membership later?

Yes. AFRN plans to support membership renewal, plan changes, credential fees, and profile management through member account tools.

How do I access my member number?

After your membership is processed, your AFRN member number will be connected to your member profile and used across membership, training, credentials, and certificates.

Can I cancel an annual membership?

Annual memberships are subscription-based when auto-renewal is enabled. Cancellation options depend on the subscription settings and member account tools available at the time of purchase.
