Tips for a successful group description

You want to grab a member’s attention within the first few seconds, so it’s important to keep your description brief and informative.

You can also use the rich text formatting toolbar at the top to make key words and ideas stand out.

Make sure the description answers these questions: 

• Who should join: Describe your ideal members.
• Why they should join: To learn more? Get involved in their community? Challenge their skills?
• What members can expect out of the group: Paint a clear image of typical activities and outings members can expect from this group.
• Community: How will your group foster relationships between your members?
