Core Expectations and The 5 Cs

Core members are asked to show up on time to each meeting, be present for the entire session, and actively participate. The Core experience is meant to build a group of trusted confidantes, so members should be prepared to listen, share, and connect on a deeper level. When members agree to the Core Expectations, they’re committing to show up and participate not only for themselves but also for the other members of their group.

The 5 Cs of Core

The 5 Cs are the grounding principles used to set norms and expectations during Core meetings. You’ll spend some time in your first meeting reviewing the 5 Cs in detail. Additionally, you may find yourself coming back to the 5 Cs often with your Core groups as a reminder of the commitments and expectations each member has within Core. In addition to the 5 Cs, you are encouraged to identify any additional group norms that your Core groups would like to adhere to.
