Role of a forum supporter!

Hey everyone! hope you're doing good! A lot of new forum supporters have messaged us lately asking what exactly do we need to do to best contribute to our subcomm?

So in some sub communities the community mentors/ mentor leaders might reach out to you giving you specific areas of focus, having a posting plan, asking you to take on the check-ins or to focus on your sub community’s needs reply posts, in this case you have the answer to the initial question but if not read this post to the end.

There are three main ways to contribute to your community as a forum supporter:

1-reply to others, support them and make sure everyone feels heard

How do I do that? Reply to needs reply posts or reply to posts on welcome introduce yourselves and check-in threads

2- Make content, how?

- Post prompt questions and start discussions,

- Found a useful recourse? Post it,

- Found a related upcoming event on the calendar? Make a thread to celebrate it, give information on it, plan a discussion on it!

(you can always ask other forum supporters of your community for input and help or talk to the community mentor/mentor leader and they’ll help you make the event bigger by planning group discussions, collaborative events with other subcomms or etc)

- Go to icebreakers and fun forum of your sub community and post a game, quiz or anything you think might be a way to have fun and stop worrying for a few moments

3-Take on the check-ins if the check-ins are being missed in your sub community you can always talk to your community mentors/mentor leaders and take on the check-ins

FAQ:
