Congratulations to @Hope, our new Academy Community Manager!
With the 7 Cups Academy coming together, the Community Team is thinking broadly about future needs and identifying the gaps in our current structure so that we can better support long-term goals as we ramp up. As you know, this is our present list of admin oversight:
@ASilentObserver: Group Support
@Hope: Subcommuniities/Forums, Teens & 7 Cups Internship
@EvelyneRose: Quality
@SoulfullyAButterfly: Content (and Translations)
Besides myself heading the Leadership Development Program and the launch of the Academy, we do not have admin oversight for this area. The Academy is going to be a massive step toward securing our community ecosystem, and we'll need someone who understands how to operate these moving parts and the academic know-how to expand these programs.
And it just so happens @Hope's work on perfecting the Internship Program makes her the ideal candidate for this role! I am pleased to announce that @Hope will be shifting into a new area of focus (we playfully call her the Dean of the 7 Cups Academy). She will be transitioning over on Feb 1st.
I know you're probably asking, but what about Subcommunities and Teens?
We will be recruiting for two contractors and will be releasing the applications into the community soon, so stay tuned for more details on that front.
Please join me in welcoming @Hope into this great new role!!
Thank you @hope for your service! We appreciate you taking on this new role. I look forward to working with you and our other leaders as the Academy grows! 🙏✨❤️

Thank you @Heather225!
Those of you know who have known me for a while would know that I have always been very passionate about and invested in the Internship Project. The academy has programs with similar structure/goals and I am super excited to focus on this part of our community. I have supported the launch of our academy courses and it has been some of the most exciting work. I am looking forward to fully focusing on the academy.
Working with the teens, forums, and sub-communities has been an incredible experience. I have met so many wonderful people and we have done some great work together! Anyone who takes over these projects will be lucky! I will be around to help with the change. If you are a user or leader in these projects and have questions/need support in regards to the change then my PMs are open for you!
A big thank you to everyone for their well wishes! I appreciate you all.
@Hope This is awesome news! With your attention to detail and your experience and enthusiasm, the 7 Cups Academy will be a super success! So exciting for us all! I wish you lots of luck
