YDSA Chapter Interest Form

YDSA Chapter Interest Form
Thank you for your interest in launching/relaunching a YDSA chapter!

The first step in launching a strong and successful chapter is to run a recruitment drive. Once you fill out this form, you'll get access to organizing materials and you'll be plugged into the Fall Drive training program. On this two-part training 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
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@dsausa.org
