A welcome to the whole program, whether you are new to the agency or bringing years of experience. Find the people, ideas, and practical resources that connect with your work.
Explore in the order that suits you. Participation in this program is voluntary; existing agency requirements, including required equity analysis, still apply.
Participation and course completion in this program do not count toward DHS-required training credits unless management, a director, or DHS leadership expressly approves an exception.

Connection, learning, and practical change belong together. Amplify Equity and the One DSD Team offer different ways to contribute to the same divisional community, within the wider One DHS program.
A conversation can surface a question about how work happens. When participants want to carry it forward, the One DSD Team can help examine the question, explore options, and connect with people who can act.
Explore the One DSD Team →The team brings back useful resources, questions for fresh perspectives, invitations to learn, and updates on ideas people shared. That learning can spark another conversation or possibility.
Explore Amplify Equity →You can enjoy either space, join both, or explore at your own pace. An idea does not need to become a project to have value.
Begin with the wider DHS context, equity in practice, and the DSD program areas. Then explore Amplify and the team together. Bring one question or interest to a conversation—there is no need to arrive with all the answers.
