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%.

Simple 4-Step Meeting Flow
1. Welcome & Icebreaker (10-15 mins)

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.
