👋 Welcome, Sessions Captain!

You've been named Sessions Captain for your chapter. That's a big deal.

This doc is your self-onboarding guide. Go through it in your own time — it should take about 2-3 hours total, but you don't have to do it in one sitting.

At the end, there's a short Check For Understanding form to complete before your first Zero Hour.

How to use this doc: Read each section. Watch the videos. Do the actions. Move on. No writing needed anywhere in this doc — just go through it.

Part 1 — Your Role, Your Why

What does a Sessions Captain actually do?

As Sessions Captain, you are the person who keeps the weekly rhythm of the chapter running. Not alone — but you are the one making sure it doesn't slip.

Your three core responsibilities:

Responsibility What it looks like
Zero Hours run every week Planned, facilitated, energising — not skipped
Sessions happen consistently Volunteers show up, children show up, classes happen
Data is logged same day Every session on Campus Cloud, within the Debrief, no backlog

What does a healthy chapter look like because of you?

When you're doing your role well:

Volunteers show up prepared, not just present. Children show up consistently. Data is clean and up to date. Fellows aren't firefighting every week — because the rhythm is holding itself.

That's what you're building. Not perfection. A rhythm that holds.
