This article is part of the Pioneer Resource Center, which provides information, guidance, and resources for Pioneers and Community Champions to help them activate and grow their local Stitch community. You can find an overview of the Pioneer Program here.
The Stitch Help Center is a crucial resource to help Pioneers understand how the community works. Some articles explain the Stitch app and website, while others are focused on how to manage some of the social challenges that pop up from time to time in the community.
Below is a selection of some of the articles we think all Pioneers can benefit from reading. You don't need to read all of these before becoming a Pioneer, but we encourage you to familiarize yourself with them over time. And please don't limit yourself just to these ten articles! The entire Help Center contains a lot of information that can make your life easier as you connect with more and more members in your area.
