Goals of the Program
The Community Pioneer Program has been designed to enrich the community in a variety of ways:
Support Pioneers
The primary aim of the program is supporting and encouraging our Pioneers as they start to establish community activity in their local areas.
Develop Champions
The program will help grow and develop our Community Champions by providing coaching to help them expand their impact across the community.
Nurture Communities
By supporting and encouraging our Pioneers, the program will be helping grow, nurture, and support local communities around the world.
Why become a Pioneer?
GET A MEMBERSHIP BOOST
All Pioneers receive a boost to their Stitch membership, to help enable them to make a positive impact in their local community.
Limited members receive an upgrade to a Full membership for the 4-month duration of the program. Full members receive an even bigger boost, with an upgrade to the next highest membership level for their entire current membership period.
BUILD NEW FRIENDSHIPS
MAKE A DIFFERENCE
Did you know that increasing someone’s social connections can greatly reduce the risk of heart disease, dementia, and depression? As a Pioneer, you’ll be making a positive difference on the lives of all the members in your local area. You’ll literally be saving lives!
I am loving being a Pioneer!
I have already built new friendships with the other members in my group,
and it’s really helping me make great connections in my local area.
How much fun is it?
The video below is an interview with some of our very first Pioneers, along with Stitch Champion Kim, to give you an idea of what you can expect to get out of being part of the program, and the sorts of friends you’ll make along the way.
Watch the video to see how rewarding it is!
