How To Get Started in Massachusetts
Destination ImagiNation

MADI has operated as a school and community based program for over 25 years. Although we hope memberships remain connected to these established educational facilities, there is a membership category open to anyone that wants to try ONE team. Whatever membership category you choose, the steps to get started are the same.

Step 1: Who You Need to Start Your DI Team

Remember: You need more than interested kids - you need adults with a sense of commitment too.

Contact Barbara Mann at massdi2003@yahoo.com for some colorful brochures and set up a date for her to come to speak to your group of interested adults and kids.

Bring parents, potential team members and school administrators to view our spring tournaments or volunteer to experience the program by training as an official the year before.
