Any host that hosts a full session, from newbies, to wise ones, to community moderators. One nomination per host per week. When? Nominations will always be open. We will announce a Hero Host every week Fill out this form [https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSd9XkpdLoA5azGd28ydtzPx8jE9hFXWIUnRbswPx1Puwuli5A/viewform]to nominate your Hero Host!

Post #2: Clarification on the Community Leader Badge

by ASilentObserver

December 30th, 2024

...See more Hello everyone, I hope you are all taking care of your well-being. If you have spent time in the group support chats, you may have likely seen some members with a Community Leader role listed under their usernames. Community Leader is a badge that acts as an umbrella for all group chat badges that used to be visible in the rooms. You can read more about it here. [https://www.7cups.com/forum/groupmod/GroupSupportInformationandUpdates_822/WhatistheCommunityLeaderBadge_305740/] But this post is to address a challenge that members with the Community Leader badge have been experiencing lately. We received some feedback that they are seen as people who can’t have challenges if they possess this badge. This is a common misconception. The badge is actually a form of recognition to appreciate the above-and-beyond efforts of a member for their compassionate support in the group chats through certain activities like hosting a Sharing Circle session. It is a token of gratitude and an umbrella badge for some of the badges they might hold due to their group chat activities. Here is the list of all roles/ badges that fall under it. [https://docs.google.com/document/d/1B1mgSyCwIYJzeli0bqK2QTB3mRATiBu3DkaYz6lo6h4/] However, it doesn’t mean a member with the CL badge can’t have struggles or can be less than any other member to get support in the group chats. A member is a member first and a community leader second. We hope this clears it up! I hope this helps. So let’s continue to be kind and supportive to them like other members as well as recognize and appreciate their dedication. Let’s continue to care for each other and be part of each other’s healing and recovery journey.
