The Dilworth Community Development Association (DCDA) is a not-for-profit, all volunteer organization whose mission is to maintain the integrity of the Dilworth neighborhood. The DCDA Board is comprised of eighteen members, each of whom serves a three-year term. Each year, six Board members rotate off, and six new Board members are elected to take their place. In addition, five officers are elected to lead the Board.

The DCDA meets on the first Wednesday of each month at 7:00 pm at the Tom Sykes Recreation Center at the corner of Euclid Avenue and Park Avenue (map it). Meetings are open, and all are invited. Attending a meeting is an excellent way to get involved and learn what is happening in both Dilworth and the surrounding neighborhoods, including the vibrant South End. Opportunities for participation include serving on one of the DCDA committees or otherwise getting involved with one of many ongoing DCDA projects.
