Membership
The GEMS Collective brings women together through genuine connection, personal growth, mentorship, memorable experiences, and meaningful community service.
What membership means
Use your time, talents and heart to make a difference in the communities we serve.
Grow personally and professionally through experiences, resources, conversations, and women who encourage you forward.
Learn from women who have walked before you — and pour into women coming behind you.
Build genuine friendships, celebrate life together, create memories, and have women in your corner.
Is this for you?
Natasha M. Carter, Executive Founder
You want your time with other women to add up to something that matters beyond the room.
You are ready for friendships that are genuine and lasting, not just another contact list.
You believe your gifts are meant to lift others, and you want a place to use them.
You want to keep becoming the best version of yourself, and to help another woman do the same.

Register for the interest meeting
We are a community of women in Metro Atlanta built on four values: Giving, Empowerment, Mentorship and Sisterhood. We serve our communities, grow personally and professionally, pour into one another, and enjoy life along the way.
Women who are ready to show up, participate, support other women, serve, and bring something positive to the Collective. We are not looking for perfection — we are looking for willingness.
Yes, and we encourage it. Events marked “Open to guests” are for everyone, and our virtual interest meeting is the easiest place to start.
Membership dues are $50 a month.
Yes. There is a one-time induction fee of $120 when you join, in addition to monthly dues.
We gather regularly through service projects, member experiences and social gatherings, with additional events throughout the year.
Confirm the actual cadence — e.g. “monthly member meeting plus events”
Show up. Participate. Support other women. Serve. Bring something positive to the Collective. Membership is a commitment to the women beside you, not just a subscription.
Most of our gatherings and service projects take place across Metro Atlanta, so members are generally local. Some experiences, like our interest meeting, are virtual.
Confirm whether women outside Metro Atlanta can join
We review your application, then arrange a relaxed conversation so we can get to know each other. If it is a fit, you are welcomed in, introduced to the Collective, and connected with a member before your first experience.
Confirm the review timeline
Through donations, sponsorships, community partnerships or in-kind contributions. Tell us about your organization on the contact page and we will be in touch.
