We are looking to grow our community of digitally native facilitators. You will find that your practice can deepen with your guidance of meditation sessions.
What does it mean to Facilitate? (Verb) To Make Easier; To Help Bring About
We provide support and mentoring for facilitators and pay a stipend for each session.
If you are interested in becoming part of the Community Mindfulness Project facilitator community, please take a moment to read about our facilitator review process.
Interested facilitators are asked to participate in several of our sessions (virtual or in person) prior to expressing interest in CMP. By participating in 3-5 of our sessions, you'll gain insight into our programming style and find the answers to many of your potential questions.
After participating in CMP sessions, you're welcome to send an initial email to welcome@communitymindfulnessproject.org expressing your interest in becoming a CMP Facilitator. In that email, please let us know which CMP sessions you attended.
You can expect a response email from us in 2-5 business days. In the response email we'll ask some questions to get to know you better and to learn more about your personal meditation practice.
Upon receiving and carefully reviewing your response email, you may be invited to a zoom ½ hour interview with us.
Later in the process, you may be asked to provide a recording of yourself leading a meditation session, or lead a sample session.
We recognize that each member of our community is special. We are thoughtful throughout the facilitator selection process, which may take a few months to complete.
Thank you for taking the time to read about our facilitator review process.
Please contact us for more information or any questions you may have about becoming a meditation facilitator.

Where We Work
We prioritize serving under-resourced and historically-marginalized communities and groups in Fairfield County, CT. Our programs take place in community spaces, and the behind-the-scenes work is done remotely or in shared work spaces.
How We Work
Serving the community is what gets us out of bed every morning. We also believe we best serve from a full cup, so we support balance and self-care as we work together.
In short, we are small and mighty, committed and caring, serious about what we do and joyful while we do it.
We Are Committed to Equity
As a non-profit organization that seeks to help people support their physical, psychological, emotional, and social well-being, CMP is committed to infusing the principles of equity, diversity, and inclusion into all aspects of the work we do. At CMP, we work to create a community that is unconditionally inclusive, and in return ask that our people contribute their differing perspectives, ideas, and experiences. Our commitment to equity includes increasing access, resources, and opportunities for all; especially for those who are underrepresented and have been historically disadvantaged.
