Become a Discussion Leader / Co-Leader!!

In this post, Id like to talk about one of the initiatives we were discussing in the past weeks and ready to Start Now.

Host support sessions in the community

Community moderators hosting regular support sessions on different topics to support the community. Now, it is your opportunity to host/co-host the support sessions, guided discussions or fun sessions.

The goal of this initiative is to have more supportive discussions on varied topics to ensure all discuss, learn, support and have fun together.

Basic criteria to host or co-host a support session or discussion-

• Leading discussions open to all listeners who meet the following requirements
  • Verified Listener Badge
  • Sparkler badge (20 member group chats)
• Members able to lead discussions if they meet the following criteria:
  • No newbie badge
  • Friendly Face badge (Group Chats - 100 + Compassion Hearts - 300)

All listeners and members require a mod present when they are leading given that they are not a mod themselves.

If you meet the above criteria, fill the Expression of Interest form here! We will reach out to you to discuss further.

We would also love to have you to co-host our 7Cups Getting to know you and Sharing Circles Sessions with community moderators. Here is the current schedule-

• Morning Sessions -
  • Get to know you (Adults) - 11.00 am
  • Sharing Circles (Adults) - 12.00 pm
  • Sharing Circles (Teens) - 1.00 pm
