Are there opportunities for leadership or volunteering within the community?

[Hev]

This question reflects an individual's interest in taking on active roles and contributing to the community's growth and activities. By inquiring about opportunities for leadership or volunteering, individuals seek to understand if the community offers avenues for personal development, skill-building, and meaningful engagement. They may be interested in leadership positions such as committee chairs, event organizers, or board members, as well as volunteering opportunities such as assisting with projects, mentoring newer members, or participating in community outreach initiatives. Understanding the availability of leadership and volunteering opportunities enables individuals to assess the extent to which they can contribute their skills, expertise, and time to the community's mission and objectives. It also fosters a sense of empowerment and ownership among members, encouraging active participation and investment in the community's success.

So many. You can become a referrer, a creator, and a maker. Or simply a contributor. 

The LearnGrowRepeat website is just a convenient vehicle to start bringing people together to share our ideas. A website is actually a poor vehicle for building a community, but it does have the advantage of not being limited by geography and gives us something to rally around.

As our community grows, in person events will become more important and more frequent. If you want events to happen, you can help make them happen. The goal is not for the LearnGrowRepeat founders to organized and do everything. It's not to have a hierarchy like that. The goal is to have a community. The level of activity in a community depends on all of its members. Just simply having events will take a lot of people in many different roles.

Some of these events will be formal, some informal, and some will be virtual or hybrid. A conference with seminars and workshops all day is just one type of event. I'm just as interested in dinner in a private room with 20 or so friends from LearnGrowRepeat. Or teaching a class in person. Or a community volunteer effort we select and perform together. Or just sharing cocktails. Could a virtual cocktail hour work? We won't know until we've tried it. A few times.

And what about events for people who don't live near the others?

You can help grow your local community so that it can become large enough to support in person events. We'll help in whatever ways we can.

I don't know about you, but I'd love to travel to other places near or far to meet with a group of eager and enthusiastic people who share the ideas we discuss on LearnGrowRepeat. That would be so much better than a generic vacation at a generic theme park.

If I can go back to being serious for a moment. Events give us a chance to use the techniques you learn online at LearnGrowRepeat to improve your relationships with people in stressful circumstances. In person events are not just time spent together. They are practice. If you really want to transform yourself, you need practice. And it will help to practice with other people who get the concept of what we're trying to do.

Whether it's leadership, volunteering, or some other role will depend on the scope and purpose of the event. Working together to figure out how to organize our efforts and accomplish great things is part of how we can practice our ideas and validate how we've internalized them.
