When is the best time to meet with my Squad?
Hope Squad requires that you meet with the Squad at least once a month. Advisors may determine what meeting time works best in their school settings. The most ideal time to meet with a Hope Squad is as a class, allowing for the maximum time to spend with the Squad planning activities and teaching the curriculum. Setting up a new class can be a barrier to implementation, so there is flexibility! Many Squads meet during lunch, flex time, or as an extracurricular activity before or after school. Regardless of when you meet, it's just important that you do meet!
If you need help brainstorming when and how you'll meet with your Squad, we recommend reaching out to other Hope Squad Advisors in Advisor Community in the Advisor Portal.
