The application process has three simple steps that can be completed in under 30 minutes total: a 5 minute application, 10 minute pre-interview questionnaire, and 15 minute video call with a community manager. Once approved, members are set up on the platform and matched to a forum group. A dedicated peer mentor helps onboard.

We recommend members spend 2-3 hours per month minimum in order to get full value. This includes the monthly forum meeting, engaging in the online community, and optional local events. Members find the more they participate, the more value they gain.
