MEMBERSHIP

Q: What is the difference between a Continuity Corps Member and a Community Volunteer?

A Continuity Corps Member serves in an official role within the organization. Members are trained personnel who work directly within the Continuity Corps system, including its campuses, resilience centers, and operational programs. This includes both active staff and individuals who transition into full membership after serving in reserve roles.

A Community Volunteer supports the mission in a non-paid capacity. Volunteers may assist with community projects, events, preparedness efforts, or local initiatives, but they are not employed as official members of Continuity Corps.

Q: Who can join?

The Continuity Corps is open to individuals from a wide range of backgrounds, experiences, and skill sets. We value practical expertise in fields such as agriculture, engineering, medicine, logistics, education, public service, and many others—but technical background is only one part of what matters.

Equally important is interest, commitment, and a willingness to contribute to community resilience and preparedness. People join for different reasons and bring different strengths, whether professional experience, lived experience, or a desire to learn and serve.

The Corps is built on the belief that resilience is strongest when it reflects the full diversity of the community it serves, and when people from many walks of life work together toward shared continuity and stability goals.

Q: Are there any restrictions on who can participate in the program?

Yes. Participants must be at least 18 years old, legally eligible to work in the United States, and have no felony convictions. Individuals currently employed by intelligence agencies are not eligible for participation. 

Q: What do members do?

Members participate in training, research, and projects that strengthen community resilience. Activities may include agricultural systems, infrastructure projects, knowledge preservation, and community education.

Q: Do members need to live on campus?

No. Some members work on campus while others participate remotely or contribute through local projects.

Q: Do members wear uniforms?

Uniforms are typically worn during official duties, training activities, and public events. Members may use different uniform styles depending on the role, environment, and specific task being performed, allowing for both practicality and flexibility across assignments.

Outside official responsibilities, members wear standard civilian clothing.

Q: Are there any benefits or perks of the program?

Yes. Members who live on campus receive housing at no cost, with utilities included. Meals, drinking water, and high-speed internet are also provided. Residential accommodations are designed to be compact and efficient, similar to tiny home living. Members also have access to shared leisure spaces, both indoor and outdoor, as well as a fleet of vehicles available for approved recreational use when not on duty. Additional benefits are available through the alumni program after completion of an initial term of service. 

Q: Why is the work week set at 10 hours?


The 10-hour work week is designed around several core principles, including balance, sustainability, and effectiveness. It allows members to remain engaged and well-trained in essential campus operations while ensuring they have ample time for rest, personal development, and participation in civic life. Continuity Corps is built on the belief that well-rounded individuals are more capable and resilient, and that meaningful work should not come at the expense of personal freedom or well-being. 

Q: What type of people are involved with the program?

As Continuity Corps is still in the development stage, participation is envisioned broadly rather than definitively defined. The program is intended to attract individuals with an interest in environmental stewardship, sustainable living practices, preparedness, and long-term resilience.

Participants may come from a wide range of ages and life stages, from young adults entering post-secondary paths to older individuals with professional or life experience.

Continuity Corps is designed to be inclusive. People of all gender identities are welcome to participate, and diversity of background and perspective is considered a strength of the community.

Q: Does Continuity Corps embrace DEI?


Yes. Continuity Corps is committed to principles of diversity, equity, and inclusion as part of building a strong, resilient, and effective community. The program values individuals from a wide range of backgrounds and perspectives, and aims to foster an environment grounded in respect, fairness, and equal opportunity for participation. 

Q: What is the Reserve Role?

The Reserve Role is for former Continuity Corps members who have completed active service and choose to remain affiliated in a standby capacity. Reserve members are not assigned to day-to-day operations, but they maintain a commitment to serve if called upon during emergencies, continuity events, or other periods of need.

This role allows experienced former members to stay connected to the organization, continue contributing when needed, and participate in the full benefits of the alumni program. It helps preserve institutional knowledge while creating a trusted pool of trained individuals who can return to service when circumstances require.

TRAINING & PROGRAMS

Q: What kind of training is offered?

Training focuses on practical resilience skills such as:

Q: Is this a survivalist organization?

The group size is designed to support strong collaboration and meaningful interpersonal connections, reflecting the importance of social cohesion and well-being in a residential community setting. 

Q: What is the alumni travel program?

The alumni travel program allows former Continuity Corps participants to visit other campuses for short stays, typically up to one week, while remaining connected to the wider network. It is intended to support continued learning, exchange of ideas, and long-term community ties between locations.

Alumni accommodations may include tent sites, sleeping pods, shared cooking areas, and other basic facilities designed for short-term stays.

As part of the program, alumni are generally expected to contribute a small amount of volunteer service during their visit, such as helping with maintenance, food systems, events, or other community needs. This helps keep the program accessible while reinforcing the shared culture of participation and service. A typical contribution may be 4 to 8 hours per week, depending on the length of stay and local campus needs.

Q: Can members who live on campus store a firearm in their living quarters? 


Yes, where permitted by law and in accordance with all campus policies and safety requirements. Continuity Corps treats firearm safety with the highest level of seriousness and requires responsible storage, training, and compliance with all applicable regulations. Firearms, when allowed, are understood strictly as a safety and preparedness tool within a broader commitment to personal and community security.
