Subcommunity Updates #2
Greetings everyone!
I hope this post finds you well. For those of you who may not know, I’m the Subcommunity Ambassador and I oversee all things relating to the subcommunities. I know that these last few months have been challenging for our subcommunities and their leaders, but I would like to reassure you that my team and I are going to ensure that things continue to progress in an upward direction. I am here to announce upcoming developments and changes to subcommunities and leadership roles.
Role Limit in Subcommunities
Something that will be reiterated ever so often is the role limit in the subcommunities. As mentioned here, the new guideline for sub-community leadership states that all listeners and members are welcome and allowed to be a part of only 3 sub-community teams at once, with a maximum of 6 roles overall. This includes the following subcommunity roles:
Room Supporter
Group Moderators
Support Team Leaders/Support Team Teen Stars
Forum Supporters
Community Mentors/Teen Community Stars
Community Mentor Leaders
Project Agents
Monthly check-ins will be done to ensure that each leader stays within this limit. If you currently exceed this limit (if you are part of 4 or more teams or hold 7 or more roles), if you want to step down from any roles, or if you want to switch between subcommunity teams, please reach out to either @CheeryMango or @Azalea98 to get that sorted out.
Subcommunity Forums Organization
What we have started doing in this quarter was forum restructuring. The purpose of this is to ensure that the forums are easier to navigate for the entire community. Forum restructuring includes:
The merging of subforums in subcommunities
Removal or Archival of outdated posts
Updated versions of descriptions and subforum names
Updated guidelines and resources for subcommunities
An updated post of the changes made to each subcommunity’s subforum will be posted and made available for the community to make note of any and all changes that were made. This is a lengthy process and can expect it to take a while until all of the forum spaces are properly organized. Any feedback or suggestions on the changes made can be left under the post or privately messaged.
Subcommunity Leaders Room
The subcommunity leaders room is a room designated for subcommunity leaders to use the room for subcommunity-related purposes. In hopes of avoiding clashes between teams and other leaders, it will now be required to book the room in advance through a booking form. You can use this form to submit a reservation with your requested date and time for team meetings, team building sessions, or leaders’ meetings with the Subcommunity Leaders. Following submission of the form, you will be contacted by a community leader to confirm your reservation and if any changes need to be made.
New Subcommunity Mentor Leader
Azalea98 has so graciously joined the subcommunity leadership team as our newest Subcommunity Mentor Leader. She will be overseeing the leadership domain of the subcommunities and will be the go-to person for questions and concerns on leadership roles in the subcommunities. I wish her the best in this role and I am grateful to have her assistance.
Monthly Leadership Check-in
As an effective way to keep track of leaders and ensure that everyone is active in their leadership roles, it will now be a monthly requirement to submit a leadership check-in form to let the subcommunity leadership team know whether or not you are still active in your role or would like to be removed from your team(s). This form will be alerted and will be open for submissions until the last day of each month. Failure to submit the form will result in you being removed from your team(s) and considered inactive.
If the deadline has passed and you weren’t able to complete the form due to a self-care break or any other reason, you can message @Azalea98 or @CheeryMango to have your badges reinstated.
You can expect more regular and frequent update posts like this in the near future.
Thank you for taking the time to read. We greatly appreciate your support.
