Become a Shriner
Become One of Us
If you hold the title of Master Mason in Freemasonry, you qualify and are invited to join the Shriners.
In order to become a Shriner you must ask a current Shriner to support and sponsor your application. This site makes that process easier by pairing you with a virtual mentor who can answer all of your questions, guide you through the petition process and help you get to know members of your local temple.

If you are not a Freemason, you must pursue that first. You will be assigned a virtual mentor on this site who will assist you on that journey. Also see the Roadmap section and click on Freemason for details on that process. Once you are a Master Mason you will then eligible to petition to become a Shriner. Your virtual mentor will assist you with every step along the way.
There are many benefits to becoming a Shriner:
