Understanding Groups and Gigs
What is a Group?
A Group is an ongoing, strategic body of volunteers who collaborate on a defined mission over an extended period. Groups have formal governance, defined membership, and regular meeting cadences. Joining a group means becoming part of a team committed to driving long-term impact within CMT.
What is a Gig?
A Gig is a short-term, tactical assignment with a clear deliverable and timeline. Gigs are ideal for volunteers who want to contribute their expertise to a specific task without a long-term commitment. They are time-boxed and goal-oriented.

| Time Commitment |
Recommended Time Commitment & Cadence
Chapter leaders should expect a commitment of 6–12 hours per month. This includes approximately 1–2 hours for the formal monthly meeting, with the remaining time dedicated to stakeholder engagement, partnership development, and overseeing city-level Communities. Time commitments may spike to 15+ hours during national seminars or major regional event months.
Chapters are required to hold formal leadership meetings at least four times per fiscal year (quarterly). While quarterly is the minimum, most active chapters convene monthly or every 6–8 weeks to coordinate regional programming, advocacy initiatives, and community support.
