Membership
Membership at Port City Makerspace can either be a monthly membership or a pass for a day. There is no application to become a member. New members of the space do have to go through a "safety checkout" process before they are allowed to use some of the dangerous power tools.
Community participation
Members and staff of Port City Makerspaces have contributed projects to the community around Portsmouth, including the Prescott Park Green Room, a mobile trailer for performers at the Prescott Park Arts Festival.
