Destination Imagination Coordinators are volunteers who facilitate the DI program at the school or district level. Coordinators are the backbone of our volunteer core, making sure teams are formed, each team has a Team Manager, and all teams have access to DIโ€™s program materials. Our program depends on volunteers like you and we thank you for all that you do!

Recruit Volunteers

Identify and recruit Appraisers and Officials to volunteer at our Regional and Affiliate (statewide) tournaments. This is a huge help as we are a small, volunteer team. Feel free to share our Ways to Get Involved page with anyone who might be interested. You can also share this page with parents who want to support the teams (without Interfering)!

Thank you!

Thank you for giving students the opportunity to participate in this life-changing program. Please donโ€™t hesitate to contact us if thereโ€™s something we can do to support you!
