RSA US
Get Involved

Our 1,100 Fellows lead work across the country on important elements of social change. We aim to maximize opportunities for our Fellows to self-organize and define the core activities of the RSA US. Explore how you can get involved through our regional hubs, thematic networks and more in our orientation guide below.

We live in a moment when thoughtful, searching, open-minded, non-partisan, evidence-based conversation about opportunities for change in society, culture, and the economy is critical if not existential. This is the role the RSA Fellowship has played for over 260 years, uniting people and ideas in collective action.

Regional Hubs

RSA US regional hubs are place-based centers of activity where Fellows get together in-person for meet-ups, learning and sharing opportunities, to forge partnerships, and disseminate resources and information. Current RSA US regional hubs include Boston, Denver, Los Angeles, New York City, Philadelphia, San Francisco, and Washington, D.C. Each hub is supported by at least one Ambassador, a Fellow who has taken on the role of community organizer for their area.

Thematic Networks

US Fellows-led thematic networks are online communication networks that form around one particular theme or topic of interest. Thematic networks explore, devise, test or pioneer ideas which have the potential to become a powerful source of social change. Each network self-organizes to share resources, promote dialogue, and collaborate across silos, regions, and sectors.

Current networks

Augmented Society Network

We are concerned and excited about the impact technology is having on society and will continue to have in the coming weeks, decades and centuries.

Gender Equity Network

The Gender Equity Network hosts discussion led events designed to further the dialogue on equal rights, status, and opportunities, regardless of gender.

The RSA was founded on the simple belief that private citizens could pool their resources (knowledge, social, and financial capital) to support public improvements. I look forward to welcoming you to the Fellowship, and hope that your experience as a Fellow is a lifelong journey where you too can turn to the Society for inspiration, debate, collaborators, thought leadership, and for the amplification of your work and legacy.
