Membership & Fees

When setting up our fee schedule, our goal was to develop a fee structure that would be affordable to people from all economic backgrounds so that we could maintain our diverse and open spirit, and be straightforward enough so that people could easily understand it and so that it would be easy enough for us to manage. After looking over the numbers, we came up with a $30.00 fee for each 8-Week Cycle. This comes to $3.75 per week, about the cost of a value meal at a fast-food restaurant, or 2 cups of Dunkin’ Donuts Coffee. Based on that breakdown we felt that most people could afford this, and thus would be a reasonable rate.

To take advantage of of New Beginnings you must be a member. We have two kinds of membership to allow for different people's needs and situations.

Scheduled Membership: Participants who choose to be scheduled members can have a set schedule of up to 2 hours per session and 2 sessions per week. There is no additional charge for additional appointments scheduled on a day by day basis, nor is there an additional charge for Intro Seminars, Supplemental Tutoring Sessions, and One and Two Part Seminars on other topics.

Individual Fee for 8-Week Cycle	Fee
Individual	$30.00

Household Fee for 8-Week Cycle	Fee
First Member of Household	$30.00
Each Additional Member of Household	$10.00

Payment of Fees: New Beginnings prefers that people pay for the 8-Week Cycle up front, but is willing to work out a monthly or weekly payment plan. If you fall behind on your payment plan, New Beginnings will allow you to keep your schedule until the end of the Cycle. If you are not paid in full until at the end of the Cycle, your schedule will be removed from the next 8-Week Cycle, and you will not be able to set a new Schedule until you pay off the remainder of the balance, although you are welcome to continue to make use of our services as a pay as you go Day-to-Day member, until you have paid the remaining balance.

Removal Of Schedule For Poor Attendance: If a Schedule member misses 2 weeks or more without calling they will receive a call. If they do not respond they will have their schedule removed from the schedule. They will be able to make-up a new schedule, but they will not be guaranteed the same spots.

Day-to-Day Membership: This membership is for people who do not want a set schedule, or for people who would like a set schedule, but for which our current schedule does not allow. Day-to-Day Members do not have a set schedule, and either walk-in to make use of the computers, if some are available, or make individual appointments ahead of time. Appointments include Computer Access, Intro Seminars, Supplemental Tutoring Sessions and Other One and Two Part Seminars. Fees apply for the day. So once someone has paid the flat fee, they can take advantage of any or all of the above-mentioned services for the day at no additional charge, so long as space is available. Please note that participants may only schedule up to 2 hours of set time per day. They can stay longer if space is available.

Daily Fee	Fee
First 1/2 hour	FREE
Remainder of Services for the Day	$3.00

Payment of Fees: Day-to-Day Fees must be paid at the beginning of the session, unless the participant knows that he or she will not be staying more than a half hour. If an unscheduled walk-in day-to-day person needs to give up their computer before a half-hour is up, they will have their $3.00 reimbursed on the spot.
