Become a Safe Sisterhood Moderator
Every class. Every event. Needs a moderator. This is a critical leadership role that keeps our community safe, on task, and accountable. If you're ready to be assertive, directional, and grounded — we need you.
Moderators work online and in-person, ensuring technology works, humans behave, and speakers are supported through every moment.
All applications are reviewed by our team personally.
Your Core Responsibilities
Moderators are the backbone of every class and event. Here's exactly what you'll be doing.
Technology Management
Ensure Zoom/technology is working smoothly before, during, and after classes. Test audio, video, screen sharing, and troubleshoot technical issues in real-time.
Enforce Community Rules
Keep participants on task and following our community agreements. You set boundaries, give clear direction, and ensure everyone respects the sacred space we're creating.
Monitor & Report
Watch for behavioral issues, conflict, or anything that violates our community standards. Document and report concerns to leadership for follow-up.
Support the Speaker
Help the speaker understand context and circumstances during the class. Be their eyes and ears — alert them to questions, concerns, or dynamics they should know about.
Witness & Neutrality
Be a non-biased witness to all class experiences. If conflicts or opposing perspectives arise, you help ensure both sides are heard fairly and documented for leadership review.
Emotional Presence
Maintain a calm, assertive, and compassionate presence. You're the steady hand that helps survivors feel safe while holding everyone accountable.
How Moderation Works in Practice
Before the class: You log in early, test technology, ensure Zoom is working, confirm speakers have access, and brief participants on community agreements.
During the class: You're watching. You're listening. You're alert to behavioral issues, tech problems, or moments when a speaker needs context about the group dynamic. You enforce our rules gently but firmly. If someone isn't following community agreements, you redirect them. If there's conflict, you document it and stay neutral.
As a witness: If opposing viewpoints or conflicts emerge, you act as a non-biased observer. You hear both sides, help ensure fair dialogue, and report what happened to leadership so they can address it thoughtfully — not emotionally.
Supporting the speaker: You might alert a speaker mid-class that someone has a question, that the energy has shifted, or that something needs clarification. You're their partner in creating a meaningful experience.
After the class: You handle wrap-up, ensure Zoom is closed securely, and document any incidents or follow-ups needed.

Why This Role Matters
Moderation isn't passive. It's active leadership. When a survivor is in a class, she needs to know that someone is watching — not controlling, but witnessing. She needs to know that if someone acts inappropriately, there's a strong woman right there to address it. She needs to know that the speaker has support, that technology won't fail her, and that this space is held with intention and care.
That's you. You are the container. You are the witness. You are the one who keeps this sisterhood safe and real.
