Why Join The Draconic Order?
The Draconic Order brings together people of different ages, backgrounds, interests, talents, and experiences to form a community with one thing in common: a desire to be part of something worthwhile and make a difference.
There are countless ways to participate, plenty of room to grow, and no requirement that you already know where you fit. Share what you know. Discover what you don't. Build friendships, help your community, step away from real-world responsibilities for a time or two, and have some fun along the way.
Whatever brings you through the door, you may be surprised by what you find—and what you bring to it.
Make a Tangible Difference in Your Community
The Draconic Order provides members with organized opportunities to contribute to their communities and participate in meaningful service.
Rather than simply wanting to help, members have opportunities to turn their good intentions into action through community service projects, events, partnerships, and other activities that address real needs in the communities where we live.
You don't have to change the world. Sometimes changing one little corner of it is enough.
What could this look like? →
- Give back to their communities through hands-on service.
- Help individuals and organizations in need.
- Support causes and projects they care about.
- Lend their talents, knowledge, abilities, and experience.
- Pitch in where they're needed.
- Work alongside others toward a common purpose.
- Help make something better—and see what they accomplished when the work is done.
- Experience the satisfaction that can come from doing something useful for someone else.
Serve simply because helping others and strengthening the community are worthwhile.
Build Your Résumé While Building Your Skills
Get experience by actually doing.
Plan an event. Lead a project. Teach a class. Help with fundraising. Work with a team. Coordinate volunteers. Try your hand at communications, budgeting, outreach, administration, or something completely new.
Don't know how? Someone is always there to help you learn.
Bring the skills you already have and develop ones you don't.
The experience you gain through service, leadership, projects, and activities is real-world, hands-on experience you can carry into school, work, your résumé, or whatever comes next.
Build Meaningful Connections
It's easier to get to know people when you're doing something together.
Work side-by-side on a service project. Spend a day at an event. Learn something together. Teach someone what you know. Take on a challenge as a team.
The Draconic Order creates opportunities to meet people outside your usual circles and build friendships and connections around shared experiences.
Come with friends or come without knowing anyone.
Either works.
Broaden Your World
Try something you haven't tried before.
Meet people with different backgrounds, experiences, interests, and talents. Discover a new craft. Learn a new skill. Explore arts, scholarship, service, events, competitions, traditions, and the dragon-inspired culture of the Order.
You might discover something you love.
You might discover something you're surprisingly good at.
You might just have a really good time trying.
Make Your Mark
Don't just join. Participate.
Have an idea? Bring it.
Want to organize something? Step forward.
Know something you could teach? Share it.
Want to lead, volunteer, create, serve, or help build something that doesn't exist yet? There is room for that too.
Members help shape the activities, traditions, projects, and future of The Draconic Order.
And what you contribute matters.
Service, participation, leadership, teaching, and accomplishments can be recognized throughout your journey in the Order—creating a history of where you've been, what you've done, and what you've helped build.
Find Purpose & Personal Fulfillment
At the end of the day, know that your time mattered.
You helped someone.
You learned something.
You taught something.
You made a friend.
You tried something new.
You stepped forward when something needed to be done.
You helped create something other people enjoyed.
You left something a little better than you found it.
That's what The Draconic Order is about.
Come for whatever first catches your interest.
Stay for whatever gives you a reason to come back.
May Your Path Be Clear and Your Skies Be Calm.
