Phase 2 · Step 8 of 10

Give People Micro-Roles

Offer small, useful ways to contribute that do not require hosting a whole event.

The core principle

Belonging increases when people are needed.

What to do next

  • Offer specific jobs: bring chairs, deliver flyers, or greet arrivals
  • Invite people by interest and strength
  • Keep roles small enough to say yes to

Not everyone wants to host. Many people will happily coordinate a book club, welcome newcomers, organize a tool share, lead a walking group, or take one small job at an event.
