Office hours in communities are more commonly recurring meetings that encourage members to talk, ask questions, discuss ideas, and more. It’s usually a half-hour to an hour-long session that might feature guests or community leaders for members to talk to.
Why should you consider hosting office hour sessions for your community?
- It offers a direct opportunity for people to open up and talk about things, especially for those who prefer talking over posting a question.
- It’s usually a recurring meeting (like every Wednesday or every Friday) which gives people something to look forward to and even prepare beforehand.
- Great way to engage and offer value.
- Discussions are open-ended mostly so even the conversations are free-flowing.
