APPLICATION DUES: $0 • MEMBERSHIP DUES BEGIN AFTER GRADUATION & FINAL ACCEPTANCE
Applying does not create membership, Academy enrollment, a leadership appointment, or a recurring charge. The published $50/month or $500/year membership options apply only after graduation and final membership acceptance. Any Academy tuition must be separately established, disclosed, and accepted; no tuition amount is established here.
ACADEMY ADMISSION QUALIFICATIONS.
Complete application
Contact details, city/state/county, goals, experience, availability, and required acknowledgments are complete.
Mission & curriculum understanding
Applicant understands the inclusive, whole-person Academy curriculum, civic service mission, the voluntary nature of faith-partner activities, and private civilian boundaries. Religious affiliation is not required.
Conduct & safety agreement
Accept lawful conduct, de-escalation, non-harassment, non-vigilantism, safeguarding, and safety standards.
Admissions interview
An authorized reviewer documents readiness, expectations, questions, and mission fit after an interview.
Training & attendance commitment
Confirm availability for the published cohort schedule and discuss support or accommodation needs privately.
Role-appropriate screening
Complete lawful, individualized identity, reference, background, or credential review appropriate to the proposed role. No blanket criminal-history exclusion is established here.
Orientation & terms
Complete orientation and review the actual cohort schedule, training expectations, accommodations, and community-service commitments.
GRADUATION & MEMBERSHIP QUALIFICATIONS.
Curriculum completion
An authorized instructor verifies completion of the required Academy curriculum and attendance standard for the cohort.
Knowledge & practical assessments
Authorized instructors verify the applicable knowledge and practical standards. Any role-specific activity requires the appropriate qualifications and accommodations review.
Service & conduct completion
Verify the cohort’s published service requirements, conduct standing, and unresolved concerns through individual review.
Graduation approval
Record the authorized graduation decision and completion evidence. An individual course certificate alone is not automatically treated as full Academy graduation.
Cohort attendance thresholds, assessment scores, service-hour requirements, fitness standards, and any specialist prerequisites must be published by the Academy before they are used to judge completion. These values are not invented or silently assigned by AVA.
After verified graduation, final membership acceptance is a separate Founder-authorized decision. Only then does the membership activation pathway open. Existing members’ subscriptions are not cancelled or repriced by this workflow.
INTELLIGENCE THAT SUPPORTS REVIEW.
Evidence & missing items
AVA tracks each qualification, its review status, evidence reference, reviewer, date, and outstanding requirements. It identifies administrative gaps without automatically accepting or rejecting applicants.
Recorded decisions
Academy admission, cadet enrollment, graduation, and membership acceptance each require the appropriate preceding stage and an authorized, documented decision.
Support & privacy
Support and accommodation requests receive individual review. Do not place medical records, identity documents, detailed background reports, or privileged legal information in application notes.
Life insurance and personal legal-services access remain part of Member Protection & Readiness™. Mandatory purchase enforcement remains pending the previously identified policy and provider approvals and does not determine Academy admission here.
