NextGen Membership

Are you between ages 18-30?

When you join Appalachian Trail Conservancy, you can now “Pay Your Age!”

Our NextGen Membership gives you an opportunity to become an ATC member for a reduced price based entirely around your age. If you’re 25, you’ll pay just $25. When you turn 26, you’ll pay $26 to renew your membership. This continues until you turn 31, when you’ll move to our standard membership fee of $50. It’s that simple.

It can be tough to commit to expensive memberships and subscriptions. As a NextGen Member, you can give back to the Trail without breaking the bank.
