[ About :: Who Plays Amtgard ]

Amtgard is available to all. It is a non-sectarian organization that welcomes all participants. However, combat activities are restricted to those 14 and older, unless you have your parents' permission. Certain government offices are restricted to those 18 and older, primarily due to legal obligations of a non-profit organization.

Amtgard members (Amtgarders or Amtgardians) come from all walks of life. Members have included secretaries, housewives, college professors, professional writers, anthropologists, students, officers in the military, police officers, computer technicians, etc.

All Amtgard members must sign a waiver and are expected to obey the laws of their country, state and local government jurisdictions. Illegal activities are not condoned within Amtgard. Amtgard endeavors to maintain good relations with government and its agencies. Many Amtgard groups participate in such activities as conventions, telethons, non-profit fundraising, canned food drives, demonstrations for local schools and groups such as the Boy Scouts of America, Christmas caroling for children in hospitals, etc.
