Why are we running a pilot? Dissenters is redesigning our membership model and onboarding process. This Membership Onboarding pilot is a first pass at the new onboarding process, which will consist of three critical components:
A “Core Program” that includes four virtual workshops
A commitment pledge
A 1-1 organizing conversation with staff or member-leaders
We are seeking up to 20 Dissenters to sign up for the pilot, fully participate in the program, and give us feedback on the program.
Eligibility: This program is designed for people are who currently a member of a Dissenters chapter or crew or national team. We will accept some non-members on a case by case basis. If you are not a current member, please fill out the application form and indicate on the form that you are not a member.
Apply by April 1.
