Tips on how to be successful in the gldd

1 Get to know the program before you sign up so you know what to expect.

2 Sign up for hours that you know that you can keep.

3 If possible get the badges you need to graduate from gldd before you join since that came help make things less stressful for you,

4. Get a mentor and it’s ok to ask for help when you need it.

5 Plan each week out so you can stay on track.

6 What helped me is at start of each week take a note of where chats start and then figure what number I need to get to meet my weekly hours. For example my l room chats this week starts at 359 so I need to get that number to 365 to meet my weekly hours. 2 chats equals one hour.

7 Host something you like.

8 Try to be active in more than one room on your track.
