REMOTE EMPLOYEE

As my local Grow Remote chapter grew, the number of people I could connect with in my community increased. Being able to chat with people in a similar situation was invaluable as I was getting to grips with everything!

Module 4 : Building Community

One thing all Grow Remote local communities do well is bring people with them on the journey.

In this module, we’ll explore how we engage multiple groups and people in the local community to collaborate with others & drive positive change.

Wednesday 22 March, 7pm-8pm (UTC/Irish time)

Module 5 : Local Activity

Generally, local leaders will have one of three goals: get the locals employed remotely, use remote work to repopulate their area, or support the social needs of remote workers locally.

In this module, we’ll help you understand what you’d like to get out of this work & take a look at what local activities can support your chapter goals.

We will draw on the +200 events that have taken place in 2022 to leave you with the motivation & inspiration to take your first steps towards achieving local goals and driving change.

Week 6 : Resources & Support

In this module you will get an overview of all resources we have to help you get your chapter up & running, connect & engage with the local community & take action.

We are community led in our activities & the resources that we create so we will also listen to your needs & support you every step of the way.
