Now, we head into April, and this month is extra exciting as we are celebrating The Gift of Caring: Honoring Volunteers. With it being Volunteer Month (alongside Stress Awareness, Counseling Awareness, and Autism Acceptance Months), we wanted to do something different.

Without our volunteers, this community simply does not exist. You are the heartbeat of 7 Cups. So, instead of just posting a list of events for you to attend, we are handing the mic over to you. We have a few community challenges lined up below. Whether you have 5 minutes to write a story or 60 seconds to drop a single sentence, there is a way for you to jump in, earn some profile badges, and help us celebrate each other!

👇 How You Can Join the April Campaign:
-

Challenge 1: The Pass the Cup Gratitude Chain

The Rule: Reply to the thread and tag two volunteers who have helped, guided, or inspired you. Share one nice thing about them. Then, they have to do the same!

Challenge 2: The Wisdom Wall

Reply in the thread with a sentence of advice you wish you knew when you started listening, or leading!

Challenge 3: Share Your Expertise

Stress Awareness Month: For the listeners! Build a community survival guide for self-care.

Autism Acceptance Month: Highlighting the neurodiversity in our community. What is a unique strength or perspective that neurodivergent volunteers bring to the platform?

Challenge 4: Volunteer Takeovers!

Instead of the admin team posting all the topics, we want you to host.

• Want to run an AMA (Ask Me Anything)? If you are a veteran volunteer, let us know below, and we'll help you set up a thread where newer members can pick your brain!
• Got a story to tell? For example, if you want to write a short post about "Why I Volunteer," we will feature it!
