Membership OPTIONS
Ways to Participate in our organization:
Full membership is granted based on a proven lineage back to a Mayflower passenger.
Anyone from birth to age 23 may be awarded an undocumented membership through an application submitted by an adult family member of the Society who has already been admitted to membership and whose membership is active
We encourage family, friends, and those interested in the Mayflower Society without a documented lineage to join Friends of the Pilgrims with a one-time donation
