Start a new group
An application must be submitted to start a new group. Please review the content of this page to understand the best practices and expectations of managing a group on the Step Club platform.
Group management
The main responsibility of the group owner/admin is scheduling meetings. In the future, you will be able to be delegate scheduling to other members of the group. A chairperson must be assigned for every meeting and defaults to the group admin. The chairperson has permission to cancel or reschedule their respective meetings. The chairperson is responsible for starting and facilitating the meeting, so we recommend not assigning the role to other members without their consent.
We recommend defining any group specific rules/guidelines for your members/attendees. Meetings can be scheduled up to 5 weeks in advance. You can schedule meetings in bulk on the group page. We ask that you try your best to avoid changing a meetings scheduled start time, canceling a meeting close to the start time, or not holding a scheduled meeting at all. It's important to us that the meetings scheduled on our platform are as accurate as possible so that our members can rely on them.
Chairing meetings
The chairperson is responsible for starting and ending the meeting on time. The chairperson should be prepared to guide the meeting and follow the assigned format for the associated 12-step program. The role should be managed the same as it would in an outside meeting as much as possible.
The chairperson is in charge of removing any disruptive members from the meeting. Please report any trolls so that they can be promptly banned from the platform. It's important that our meetings are safe and welcoming to all members.
