You have to be invited and sponsored by 2 current members in order to be considered, and then your profile is evaluated by the chapter's board. Acceptance is also reliant on space available in a chapter. 

Costs can range based on the chapter you are involved with but can range from $400 /year to $4,000+ in annual dues.

There are no technical skills required.

Because this program is a program that can last up to 6 years the total hours input is based on the length of the program. However, there are required events, volunteering opportunities and many more required attendances throughout the program. Time commitment can rise drastically depending on involvement level.

The application requires that you be sponsored by 2 current members. The acceptance of a member is predominately to do with the CV/background of the mother. Mother's must show a background of charitable involvement and be willing to give a large time commitment to the organization.

If a chapter is not in your area you are able to open your own chapter.
