This call includes a broad overview of DSA for those who have just joined the organization. It starts with our structures, program, and theory of change — before diving into the varied projects and activities of the Denver chapter.  The average orientation takes about 75min; and the content is full of detailed information about how our chapter operates, contains resources for you to engage with, and ends with a Q&A.

As organizers who were previously brand new members ourselves, we recognize that DSA can be a confusing space to engage with at first. We have found that it can occasionally be helpful to think of DSA as a "choose-your-own-adventure" organization. We do our best to provide you with some basic first steps, a couple resources, and spaces to engage — but you're always in the driver's seat. As you begin your journey in DSA, we encourage you to lean into the energy that initially pushed you to become a member, it might take a little while but it'll be worth it.

If you're not ready to join DSA - but do want to know more - we also offer in-person DSA 101s. Those meetings are more interactive and are worth considering if you're mostly curious at this time. You can RSVP for the next 101 using this link (coming soon).
