Hi! I was wondering if I could get a letter of recommendation from 7 Cups once I have completed my internship program. I have been participating in this platform for a while now and I would love to have a letter of recommendation for my college applications.
Hey @daniellaaaAD, that's awesome you're in the internship program, and ofcourse if you meet the criteria, you can request for a letter of recommendation too, a more detailed outline of the same in this post here (clickable), or you can reach out to @Hope anytime for more concerns about the same. Good wishes!❤
@Hope
Hello.
I've recently applied for the CDM course and I would like to know how to get into the roles and tasks alloted for that?
Hey @Valorous, could you share what exactly do you mean by "roles" here?
As for getting started with the tasks, once you've received the acceptance mail, it contains all the relevant information about your coursework and what all you need to do in order to graduate from the program.
Feel free to check out this CDM Program: Step-by-Step Walkthrough post, as well as mentors availability here, if you have any questions or need any assistance related to the program anytime! ❤
Quick gldd program
listener track question
do you get roles offers either. On l track or the Academy at end of program? I heard yes but not sure if it true?
Hey @Goalsforlife, according to the following recent updates, trainees are encouraged to apply for roles, but that's not a requirement to graduate anymore, so upto free will of the trainee.
>> Encouraged to apply for leadership roles in the group chatrooms, but not required.
You can always reach out to a GLDD mentor leader for any concerns too, gentlefox210 or ASilentObserver!
@Sunisshiningandsoareyou

I am waiting for my work be looked at and then badged .
My question is if I already did that course and passed do I need to re do it when get to ldp or what should I do?

@Goalsforlife, if you already have a badge for it then you are good
@Hope
Hi, i would like to know how many hours we need to graduate?
i do know my current hours, just need to know how much is left.
THANKS XOXO
@RoshanaShabanii, it is on individual basis. You need 48 hours total.
Take the number of chats you have now minus what you started internship with and divide it by 2
@wonderfulRainbow817
Thank you so much for replying, lots of love your way!!
For gldd
when is the small project due like what week I am in week 4 out of 6 weeks
@Goalsforlife
Goals, congratulations on making it this far. According to this https://docs.google.com/document/d/1Vj_GcVvl1ZTxZQJp721Gpopn2nm9HXTNUPMuUHES7d8/edit#
your project needs to be submitted this week, since you're in week 4 of 6. However, the project was voluntary when I went through the course, and it reads to me like it's voluntary for you guys too. Maybe check on that with a mentor, though.
You've mentioned in the chatrooms that you're a bit worried with the project, but I really think you're overthinking it. Follow the template example and you'll be fine. I know you've got this!
Hi, i have this weird issue where my chat numbers are stuck on 735, even though they're way more.
How can I fix that?
@RoshanaShabanii
Hi Roshani, one chat equals 30 messages exchanged. Make sure you have exchanged at least 30 messages with a member in a 1-1 chat. Give it a day, if it does not change then please submit a ticket here
Hi @RoshanaShabanii. If you notice it has now changed to 736 so it should be good now.
@Hope I am a part of LDP program. There are few positions I can apply to if I am a mentor of any track. What are the mentor roles that I can apply to?
Yay @yourbuddy30, you can find about different mentor tracks and application forms here and in this post. Good wishes.❤
@Sunisshiningandsoareyou Thank you so much sun!!
@Hope

@Jowita
I remember keeping a screenshot of my electives when I was a trainee haha, I knew I wouldn't remember it after a while. XD
Happens, you can reach out to an intern mentor here and they can help you with it. Good luck. ❤
@Sunisshiningandsoareyou @Jowita
@wonderfulRainbow817 thankyou so much i got it from hope now, but iw ill reach out if i need anythg else!
I wanted to know after doing our internship here. Can we get a job that pays us over here. And what exactly will be done in this internship
@Pritu19039521
All the roles are volunteer roles here, except for the admin team and community moderators (Ones that have usernames like "CommunityModRandomName"), information about the same you can seek via dropping a mail to community@7cups.com, I hope!
You can find more about the internship, coursework, learning outcomes etc in this post, or the FAQ Internship thread.
