This class offers three pricing tiers: a Community Rate for those experiencing financial hardship or on a fixed income, a Standard Rate for those who can comfortably cover costs, and a Supporter Rate for those who are financially stable and want to help a neighbor participate. Please choose the tier that honestly reflects your current situation — no documentation required, no questions asked. We trust you. This is a pilot program. Your participation helps BMCA learn how to make the sliding scale work well for our whole community. If even the Access Rate isn't workable for you, our financial aid program offers scholarships and work trade options. Learn more here: https://bmca-opportunities.my.canva.site/bmca-financial-aid
