As a member you support our function as a citizen and human rights organization that promotes the rights of sexual and gender minorities. A society like us is nothing without its members. Each member provides us with their own contribution and all members are equally important.
Membership fees are a significant source of funding. With the income we make the free and open functioning of our society possible, this includes our diverse peer support and activity groups and different events. They also fund our training and influence work to promote the equality of sexual and gender minorities. The number of members also affects the amount of financial aid the society receives, and our influence in our parent organization Seta ry.
Lahden Seta has both support members and full members. Support members cannot vote in our meetings, but otherwise the memberships are the same. Both types of members can use our member benefits. A full membership also gives you the right to vote in our meetings. A full membership can be paid for a year at a time, or for three years with a multiple fee. This means that you do not have to think about the fee for some years, and possible changes in the fee do not affect you. Minors can join as full members for free. Membership for minors is free until the end of the year during which you turn 18.
Because Lahden Seta is a member organization of Seta, our membership card gives you the benefits that apply to the members of the organization members of Seta. The members of Lahden Seta are also always offered cheaper tickets to our events. You may also get discounts events and parties organized by other member organizations of Seta.
