Virtual Coffee

Celebrating our Community as we move into our fifth year!

Monthly Challenge for May, 2024: Community Kindness!

It's amazing to realize that we've made it through more than four years of Virtual Coffee! As we work hard to make sure this community continues to be the special and close-knit group that it has been during that time, let's celebrate one of the things that continually makes this community so special: Kindness.

Since this is a special challenge, we have some ideas to start things off, but we're looking forward to the creative ways you participate.

Starter Ideas

We encourage everyone to take care of yourself and participate in a way that works for you. If you have the opportunity or time, here are some ideas to get things started:

• Use the #gratitude channel in Slack to thank someone in the community you're grateful for.
• Reach out to a member you haven't seen in a while.
• Highlight your office hours or consider holding a group mentoring session.
• Share your tips for a skill others struggle through writing a blog post, creating video or live streaming. Even better, share it with us on a Lunch and Learn session!
• Give honest and constructive feedback.
• Use another social media platform, like X or LinkedIn, to offer gratitude, support, or kindness for a community member.
• Give honest and constructive feedback.

And remember, a community is only as awesome as its members, and you are all awesome ❤️
