Weekly workgroups, monthly leadership circles, a live show that reaches 5,000+ families, and an admissions events calendar you can plug into your own website. This is where the community shows up — every week, all year.
Recurring community sessions
Three standing sessions hosted by CounselMore Ambassadors — candid, peer-driven, and open to every CounselMore member.
Every Friday · Weekly
Ask a mentor anything. Get real-time answers.
How many assignments truly make a comprehensive plan? How do I connect Google Drive? Where do I sign up for Mentorship? Bring it all.
A CounselMore Ambassador hosts every week — candid, practical answers for both new and experienced members. Bring your questions, bring your insights. Live, peer-driven learning at its best.
Last Thursday · Monthly
Step into leadership. Share what you've built.
Members present the curriculum they've created, the products they've built for families, and the leadership lessons they've learned in practice. It's a space to step out of your comfort zone, share your voice, and demonstrate what you believe.
Curated by CounselMore Ambassador Marc Gray — spotlighting authors, founders, education veterans, and thought leaders. Don't just attend. Apply to present.
Every Wednesday · Weekly
Accelerate college knowledge — together.
A working session, not a webinar. Counselors actively source, refine, and build curated school data directly into their own CounselMore databases while a rapid exchange of college intelligence happens in real time.
If you've used Community Lists, you know the power of the shared insider edge. This is where we crack the code together.
Thursdays · Live broadcast
Real teens. Real questions. Live audience. A 60-minute show every Thursday where families meet college counselors — unscripted, on-camera, and in the hot seat. Because everyone deserves a good college counselor, and this is how families find one.
Streaming live to TikTok & Zoom · replay clips across social channels
Real replays. Real reach.
Every Thursday show becomes a library of short, evergreen replay clips. Counselors who guest on the show republish them across their own channels — turning one hour live into months of content.
Admissions events calendar
When we hear about it, we put it on the calendar — for you and for your students. Use it to find where colleges are visiting your area and which events your students can attend to demonstrate interest.
