DreamTouch and positivePumpkin22 - Leadership Development Program 

Hi everyone! I hope you’re all doing good.

Firstly, a warm welcome to @Arie3, our newest addition to the mentor team. We're excited to have you on board! And a heartfelt congratulations to our October graduates: @Onyx000, @delightfulUnicorn38, @LovelyKittyCat and @radiantUnicorn3506. Your hard work and dedication have truly paid off!

On the LDP course front, we’ve made some updates. First, sharing testimonials is now an option for elective or honors credit. Additionally, the soul-searching book review has been removed as an elective.

Thanks to the hard work of the LDP team, our program has been running smoothly. We’ve been able to process/complete all tasks within 3-6 days of submissions. We both have been actively involved in onboarding new trainees and mentors, mentor outreaches, scheduling emails to trainees, badging as well as sending certificates to the graduates and overseeing the overall management of the program. 

We look forward to welcoming more trainees in the program and to witness their growth as future leaders! If you’re interested, please apply from here 

If you have any questions or thoughts about the changes, please don’t hesitate to reach out to us.

Tommy - Communities (forums)

Hi everyone! We’ve had a busy few months taking note of your feedback and making meaningful changes to the domain to suit the changing needs of members and listeners alike. We are very grateful for all of your support and we wanted to find a way to show you our appreciation of this. Our new engagement challenge will help not only ensure everyone gets a response to their post, but also recognise the efforts of all who take the time to be there when others need it. 

We are currently in need of new forum leaders. If you have some spare time and think you’d be a good fit for the team, please read more about our available opportunities here. You can also check out our latest discussions (and our most recent engagement challenge leaderboard) here.

An experienced leader will respond within 24 hours to offer their support. Learn more about this initiative here and bookmark the GSBR form to keep it handy!

Grief Support Sessions are back as of October 19, led by the dedicated @CaringEzra. Their efforts mean so much to everyone, so please check out the full details here.

To keep our group chats lively and welcoming, we’ve made some important updates to the Group Chat structure. The rooms for Relationship Support, LGBTQ Support, and the Listener Community have transitioned to pop-up rooms, and the room rotation schedule has been updated. See the details here.

We also introduced the Playground Group Chat to support the demand for fun activities and games. If you’re looking to unwind with friendly games and wordplay, check it out! You’ll find the info here—we’d love to see you join for some fun! Here is the link to the Playground Group Chat!

KristenHR - VL Team

Over the past quarter, the Verified Listener team has processed 137 mock chats to bring on many new verified listeners.  We are pleased to welcome @EnigmaticCat24, @radiantUnicorn3506 and @Shannon1996 as verifiers this past quarter. 

We started an Ask Me Anything thread in the Listener Learning & Journey community where any listener can ask questions about becoming a verified listener.  It also has many tips on preparing for the mock chat.

@Izzyy528 has been working on increasing our connection to teen listeners and working on increasing the number of verified teen listeners we have. 

If you aren’t a Verified Listener yet or don’t know what is a Verified Listener, you can learn more about it and apply here: Get Verified on 7Cups!
