The Weekly Beacon: Small ways to help the community! (Week 3 / March 29)
Welcome to week THREE of The Weekly Beacon! For those who might be new to this initiative, The Weekly Beacon is our new tradition where we share simple, small ways you can lend a hand around the community. The heart of 7 Cups has always been the people in it, and you do not need official badges, special training, or hours of free time to make a difference in someone else's day.
🌟 The Recognition Board 🌟
Every day you reply to these weekly threads to let us know you completed one of the tasks, you earn a star. You can earn up to 7 each week for each day. Once you earn 30 stars, you will receive the exclusive "All for one" badge!
These folks absolutely crushed it on Week 2. Congratulations to everyone who has earned stars for their acts of community spirit.

If you have a few minutes today, here are some simple ways you can lend a hand this week:
- Check the Newbie Hub for people introducing themselves, and drop into their posts to acknowledge them
- Greet someone in the Welcome thread (click the >> to go to the most recent page)
- Find threads that need replies (check this community page) and share a meaningful response.
- Give out a resource to someone! Examples: the 7 Cups Basics, the Listener Quick Guide, or a self-help guide
- (Adult listeners) Sign up to host games in the Listener Community Room (detail post here).
If you can do even one of these things, whether just once or for multiple days this week, please reply to this thread and let me know what you did to support our community! It can be anything, not just things on the list!
Don't forget to tag your friends so they can pitch in and earn stars, and you earn a star for tagging too, as that is also a kindness task!! You can earn up to 7 stars each week by showing up daily!
Thank you for being so helpful in building this community together through everyday acts of kindness!
Monday: Made a welcoming space for newcomers in the newbie support hub groups: welcomed them, invited them to share their feelings, and made space for their thoughts and experiences!
Tuesday: Welcomed new listeners and shared the listener quick guide, as well as provided helpful resources such as the 7cups academy link, information about how to become a member, and also the certification link to access hour logs.
Wednesday: Took some time to reply to forum posts in the community that did not have replies. Opening up on a public platform and sharing takes a lot of vulnerability and courage, and it is an effort that must not go unnoticed
Thursday: Took some time out of my day to appreciate and thank listeners and leaders who have helped me in my journey so far, as mentors, friends and supporters!
@DustOfSnow
Friday: Nominated some amazing listeners for badges, passed the cup to some wonderful people
Saturday: Congratulated graduates of active listening courses, shared some helpful resources to newbie listeners <3
