Begin your journey with the GDC

GDC is now calling for Regular and Associate Memberships.

 

You can progress towards next membership grade when you meet the criteria. As Senior Membership will only be opened to application after two years at GDC, we encourage you to apply sooner if interested.

​

Every quarter, newly applied Diaspora Organizations will be elected at the GDC Membership Committee Meeting. Member DOs that joined in the year will be announced at the annual Global Diaspora Assembly.

​

There is no membership fee to join the Regular and Associate Memberships.

​

Please note, Gmail may be required for completing the Membership Application Form,

''The more connected we are,

the stronger our diaspora organizations''
