Launch a YDSA chapter!

Launch a YDSA chapter!
Thank you for your interest in launching a YDSA chapter!

Once you fill out this form, you'll get access to organizing materials and you'll be plugged into the Fall Drive training program. We'll cover:
- How to build a team of committed organizers to form the core of your chapter
- Identifying an issue that your new chapter can organize around
- Tactics that will help you recruit some of your first members and increase your organizing capacity
- How to plan a successful kickoff meeting and effectively engage attendees
After you attend a training you'll be able to order a chapter building kit containing a YDSA banner, stickers, buttons and posters - everything you need to recruit on campus!

Please note that this form is not the official YDSA chapter application - if you are a member of an unofficial YDSA chapter that is interested in applying for official chapter status, please contact ydsa@dsacommittees.org.
