Post an ask or an offer

Share your time, talent, or advice with your community—or ask for support when you need it. Asks & Offers helps you make meaningful connections through your online community.

Asks & Offers can support mentoring, career guidance, introductions, and other ways to help fellow community members.

Create an ask or offer

1. Go to Connect and open Asks & Offers.
2. Select Create an Ask or Offer.
3. Choose whether you want to post an Ask or an Offer.
4. Read the welcome message carefully. It may include community-specific instructions, guidelines, and context for posting.
5. Answer the three questions with clear, thoughtful details so community members understand what you need or what you are offering.
6. Set an expiration date. Your post will be removed from the active board after that date.
7. Click Join to publish your post.

What happens after you post

When your post is live, members who have chosen to receive these notifications will receive a notification. Community members can respond in either of these ways:

• Reply publicly on the post’s discussion board.
• Send you a private direct message.

Check your notifications and messages for responses. You can update your post or let it expire once your ask has been met or your offer is no longer available.
