Onboarding describes the intake process of bringing in new people to strengthen organizing teams, movements, coalitions, and other such groups working towards transformative social change; creating opportunities to learn and upskill in order to ensure sustained involvement, interest, and action. - Michelle Xie [1]


In other words, it is the "process of moving from casual supporter to active grassroots member." -Power Shift [2]


Examples of Onboarding

  • It is suggested to develop an onboarding plan that incorporates a welcome package explaining the basics of your group, milestones for the first weeks of engagement, and a clear line of support for that new recruit.
  • Another helpful onboarding tool it using a ladder of engagement to encourage a low barrier way to act, and move supporters up to more intensive ways to act.
