🍁🎃🌙 Academy Awards October 2026🌙🎃🍁

...See more A Month of Changing Seasons, New Opportunities, Steady Growth, Meaningful Connections and Community Spirit October arrives with cooler mornings, hints of autumn colors, and a sense of renewal. As one season transitions into the next, we're reminded that growth is an ongoing journey filled with learning, perseverance, and meaningful connections. The Academy continues to flourish through the dedication of trainees, the guidance of mentors, and the support of leaders who help make every step feel possible. Growth is often found in the little moments. It may be asking a question when you feel unsure, offering support to a fellow trainee, stepping outside your comfort zone, or showing up with determination even when challenges arise. These moments may seem small, but together they create progress worth celebrating. Every achievement begins with a willingness to keep moving forward. Whether it's completing a lesson, supporting a fellow trainee, asking thoughtful questions, or offering encouragement, each contribution helps strengthen our community. As we welcome October, we celebrate those who make the Academy a place of kindness, learning, and inspiration for everyone. As we welcome this new season, we take a moment to appreciate the individuals who make the Academy such a positive and uplifting space.

7 Cups Academy Time Management Course

...See more Hi everyone! I hope you are doing well. Through our academy surveys and general community interactions, we have identified that most people feel like they can benefit from some form of time management training. The challenge with most time management techniques is that they do not train you to reflect on what really is important and schedule it in a sustainable way. We have found a book that deals with time management as part of your whole interrelated life and is in sync with your principles. I am talking about First Things First, a book by Stephen Covey [https://www.amazon.com/First-Things-Stephen-R-Covey/dp/0684802031]and comes highly recommended by @GlenM We have created a course based on the book.

You will need the practical application to pass the practical part of the quiz. Step 3: Revise the path content before completing the quiz. [https://docs.google.com/document/d/1BYJMAqzaAQ2lgInKpUAv6jODuqZdbAVRKDVyYdLus1U/edit]You can skip this part if you feel confident to pass without the revision. Step 4: Submit the time management course quiz. [https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfxm8jdvqi3wXzAfoHNia2G85NbSynVE0uSBga0oesXebX9_Q/viewform] S [https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfxm8jdvqi3wXzAfoHNia2G85NbSynVE0uSBga0oesXebX9_Q/viewform]tep 5: Let us know that you have completed the steps here! [https://www.7cups.com/forum/BuildingCommunityProgram_208/AcademyPrograms_2311/CelebrateCourseCompletionHere_280719/] All who successfully complete it by scoring at least 17/20 in theory and submitting practical components will receive a certificate and a badge.

7 Cups Academy Emails Information: Are you getting your academy emails?

...See more Hi everyone, I hope you all are doing well. From time to time interns/trainees report not getting acceptance or other such emails from us. I am writing this post to clarify how to go about this. Firstly 95% of the time, the email sits in your spam. So please check spam before reaching out. You will find it there in most cases. If you want to prevent emails from going to spam then please check this article. [https://downtimemonkey.com/blog/how-to-whitelist-an-email-address-in-gmail.php] You can reach out to the admin or ambassador overseeing the program you applied for to get the email you need to white list (if you choose to do that). Or you can also just PM me and I will provide you the email you need to whitelist depending on the program you have applied for/enrolled in. Only do this step if you have an issue with emails going to spam, otherwise, there is no need. Now for the 5% who are not even finding the email in spam, please reach out to the admin/ambassador who sends acceptance emails for the program and provide a different email. We will forward the emails to your new email. It is worth noting that it is your responsibility to ensure that you are receiving the emails. If you do not get trial end or program end reminders because you have not been checking emails/reaching out if not getting them, then that will not be considered a valid excuse. Emails you can expect to receive: Acceptance email - sent 1-2 days before the start date Resource Emails - provides you with important links Important Dates email (only for internship) Two-week trial ending reminder - sent 3-4 days before your trial is set to end Last step/final eval reminder email - sent 1-2 weeks before your end date.

How Your 7 Cups Volunteering Hours Are Counted

...See more Hi everyone! I hope you are doing well 🤍 Over time, more and more people have been choosing 7 Cups for things like community service, practicum hours, and university requirements. This post is specifically for those listeners who are doing hours independently as a listener, not through a 7 Cups Academy program. With that, there has also been some confusion around: * what actually counts as hours * how those hours are calculated * what we can and cannot verify So to make sure everyone is on the same page and to set you up for success from the start, this post walks you through everything you need to know. ------------------------- How your hours are calculated We use the following formula: (Current number of chats – Previous number of chats) ÷ 2 * 2 chats = 1 hour * 1 chat = 30 messages exchanged between you and a member * Both live and offline messages count ------------------------- Where to find your chat count Go to your profile: 7cups.com/@yourusername Make sure your username is entered exactly. Look for 'Chats' ------------------------- If your hours are for official verification (important) If you need your hours verified for a specific timeframe (for example: your university requires hours completed between certain dates), then: 👉 You must reach out to @Hope [https://www.7cups.com/@Hope] before you begin Your starting chat count will be recorded, so we can verify hours within that exact period. Important: * This is only needed if your requirement clearly asks for hours within a specific date range (Example: Your university wants you to do volunteer hours within a specific semester) * If you do this, only chats from that recorded starting point onward will be counted * Any chats completed before that point will not be included 👉 This means: if you don’t actually need timeframe-specific verification, do not request a starting count, as it may reduce your total eligible hours If you do NOT need timeframe-based verification If your requirement is simply to complete a total number of hours (with no strict start date): 👉 You do not need to contact anyone before starting 👉 You can track your hours yourself using your full chat count Example: Your school said to complete 100 volunteering hours without stating when exactly they need to be done. ------------------------- 🔦Before you begin Before starting your placement or logging hours, please make sure you review the full Volunteer Work Verification Guidelines [https://www.7cups.com/forum/listenerjourney/CommunityAdministrationCultureandGuidelines_141/7CupsVolunteerWorkListingVerificationFAQ_225571/] This helps you: * confirm you meet the requirements * avoid issues later when requesting verification ------------------------- Taking a few minutes to go through this before starting helps keep everything clear and avoids issues later on when your hours need to be verified.
