We will consider a candidacy while in residence for families of at least one parent and one child under 18 years old who are planning to move to Los Angeles and have experience and a commitment to raising children under 18 in intentional communities. This would minimize the challenge that our membership process presents to a family that is already moving. These cases will not take precedence over existing candidates, but this flexibility helps us reach our goal of supporting a diverse community that includes families. We will take existing member families and interested families in the area into consideration before inviting an interested family from out of town to enter the membership process. Families must follow the same membership process as anyone else and if already living at LAEV families can enter the process without moving out.
