Everything you need to launch a chapter in your city.

Welcome to Hosting!

Thank you for stepping up to host a Choose90 Chapter! Choose90 is all about shifting our focus to the 90% of life that's good—countering the negativity overload from news and social media with gratitude, encouragement, and uplifting stories. By hosting, you're creating a local space for everyday people to connect, share positivity, and choose a brighter perspective.

Your Role: Facilitator, Not Teacher

You don't need to be an expert, speaker, or positivity guru. Think of yourself as a facilitator—someone who gently guides the group to keep things flowing smoothly.

  • Guide the Conversation: Introduce prompts and encourage sharing.
  • Keep It Inclusive: Ensure everyone feels safe and valued.
  • Stay Neutral: Let the group drive the discussion; steer away from negativity.
  • Rely on the Kit: Use the provided prompts—no need to create content from scratch.

Code of Conduct: Keeping It Safe

  • No Politics or Divisive Topics: We focus on the good. Avoid debates on politics, religion, or polarizing news.
  • No Arguing or Judgment: Listen actively, share kindly, and celebrate stories without critique.
  • Confidentiality is Key: What's shared in the chapter stays in the chapter.
  • Positivity First: Center on gratitude and kindness. If negativity creeps in, gently pivot back to the 90%.

Venue: Casual spot like a coffee shop or park.

Simple 4-Step Meeting Flow

1. Welcome & Icebreaker (10-15 mins)

Greet everyone warmly. Have each person share their name and one quick positive from the day (e.g., "I'm grateful for this coffee!"). briefly review the Code of Conduct.

2. Main Discussion: Positivity Prompts (30-45 mins)

Use these prompts to spark sharing. Go around the circle or let volunteers speak (2-3 mins each).

  • Gratitude Share: "What's one thing you're grateful for this week?"
  • Good News Spotlight: "Share a positive story or something inspiring you've seen."
  • Kindness Chain: "Describe an act of kindness you've given or received."

3. Reflection (10 mins)

Wrap up with a group reflection: "What stood out to you today?" or "How can we choose 90% positivity this week?"

4. Close & Next Steps (5-10 mins)

Thank everyone! Announce the next meeting date. End on a high note with a group high-five.
