Introducing Community Circles

​

1. How do I apply for the Community Circle?

 

Applying is easy! Just fill out the application form, which helps us match you with the best circle based on your interests, gender, age range, and availability. Your application also serves as a brief bio that will be shared with your group upon acceptance.

 

Once you submit your application, you’ll need to pay the program fee upfront to secure your spot. If your cohort is full or canceled, you’ll receive a full refund, or be put into the next round, top-priority.

​

2. What’s different about this program compared to other social meetups?

 

Unlike casual meetups, Community Circles are structured, commitment-based, and collaborative. Each member plays an active role in planning and participating in events, ensuring engagement, accountability, and deeper connections.

​

3. Can I choose which Community Circle I want to join?

 

You can indicate whether you prefer a mixed-gender or same-gender group in your application. While we can’t guarantee every preference, we’ll do our best to accommodate based on availability.

​

4. What kind of activities will we do?

​

Your group will decide on activities based on shared interests, creating experiences that feel natural and fun. This could include game nights, trivia, foodie outings, outdoor adventures, volunteering, creative workshops, or unique social gatherings. And don’t worry—you won’t have to figure it all out on your own. The first meetup will be planned for you - think meeting at a restaurant, coffee shop, park, etc. You’ll receive guidance on planning meaningful meetups, along with suggestions to keep things engaging each week. The goal is for your circle to meet consistently at the same time and day to build deeper connections over time.

​

5. What are the board roles, and how do they work?

​​

To keep engagement high and ensure your group runs smoothly, each member will take on a role throughout the program. These roles are designed to make participation feel natural and balanced, not overwhelming.

​

• Circle Lead: Keeps the group connected, maintains momentum, and checks in with members. No need to be the boss — just a supportive organizer who makes sure things stay on track.

• Event Coordinator:  Plans and organizes weekly meetups based on group preferences. Handles logistics like reservations, locations, and scheduling.

• Social Connector: Brings the energy! Engages everyone, checks in with quieter members, and suggests icebreakers or fun conversation starters. Also starts and manages the group chat.

• Memory Keeper: Captures moments (with group consent) through photos, helps create a shared album, and writes a brief group reflection each week.

• Discussion Leader: Guides deeper conversations, introduces reflection prompts, and ensures each meetup fosters meaningful connection.

• Wildcard (Flex Role): Jumps in where needed! Can support any role or step in to help with tasks based on the group's needs.

​

Each role comes with simple guidelines, so you’ll always know what to do. Plus, groups can rotate roles weekly or stick with what works best — flexibility is key!

​

6. What Kind of Support Will You Receive During the 6 Weeks?

 

Personalized Group Matching

We carefully curate each group based on interests, values, and lifestyles to ensure compatibility and organic connection.

​

Onboarding Session & First Meetup

Your first session will be scheduled with a guided activity  — introductions, group expectations, and a fun icebreaker activity to get things started.

 

Weekly Check-Ins & Group Support

You’ll receive prompts, reminders, and light guidance each week to keep your group on track and engaged.

 

Role Assignments & Planning Framework

Each person in your circle will have a specific role to keep things flowing — whether that’s coordinating logistics, setting the vibe, or facilitating discussions. This ensures that the work is evenly distributed, and no one is left doing all the planning.

 

Troubleshooting & Guidance When Needed

If your group encounters challenges (e.g., someone isn’t participating, scheduling issues arise), we’re here to help with troubleshooting strategies to keep things smooth.

 

Alumni Access & Continued Connection

After the 6 weeks, you’ll be invited to ongoing alumni meetups and a private Facebook community to stay connected beyond your circle.

​

7. What if I don't want to or know how to plan activities?

​

That’s okay! You’ll be working as a team, and roles are designed to be simple and low-stress. Plus, you’ll receive support and ideas to make planning easy. As a group, you can also decide to meet at the same place, time, and location each week to keep it simple, and really focus on building deeper connections.

​

8. What if I can’t commit to the full program?

 

This program is designed to build deeper connections over time, so we ask that participants commit to the majority of the sessions. If now isn’t the right time, we encourage you to apply for a future circle!

​

9. How many people will be in each circle?

 

Each circle will consist of 4-6 participants carefully selected for compatibility, shared interests, and age range.

​

10.  What if I don’t make a close friend during the program?

 

While we can’t guarantee lifelong friendships, we do promise to create an environment that makes forming connections much easier. Even if you don’t meet your new best friend, you’ll gain valuable social skills and expand your network.

​

11. What happens if the circle is full?

 

If spots fill up, your application will be saved for the next round, and you’ll get priority access.

​

12. What is included in the program fee?

 

Your program fee covers everything you need to have a seamless, meaningful experience in Community Circles:

​

• Personalized Matching – We carefully review applications to create well-balanced groups based on compatibility, availability, and shared interests.

• Guided Structure & Resources – You’ll receive a clear framework to follow, including prompts, activity ideas, and discussion guides to help build deeper connections.

• Dedicated Group Chat & Alumni Network – Stay connected with your circle and expand your network even after the program ends.

• Ongoing Support – Throughout the program, you’ll have access to additional tips, check-ins, and encouragement to ensure your group stays engaged and thriving.

• A Built-in Community – Beyond just meeting new people, you’ll be part of a structured, supportive space designed for long-term friendships.

 

This isn’t just a meet-up—it’s an intentional experience designed to help you find and keep meaningful connections.

​​

​

13. Can I stay connected with my group after the program?

 

Absolutely! You’ll be added to an exclusive alumni group where you can keep in touch, continue meeting up, and connect with members from other circles.

​

14. How will I know the details for each session?

 

Your group will coordinate meetups using a simple framework that keeps things organized and stress-free. Each week, the Event Coordinator will confirm the details, including time, location, and any necessary logistics. Since responsibilities rotate, no one person has to handle planning every time. You’ll also have access to a shared space (like a group chat) where all plans are easily accessible, so everyone stays in the loop!

​

​

• Application Deadline: April 11, 2025
