BFP's Discord Server
What is a Discord server?
Discord is a voice, video, and text communication service originally designed for gamers, but it's now used worldwide for all sorts of activities, like school clubs or practicing sign language! You can log into Discord via a web browser, but for the best experience, we recommend downloading the mobile or desktop app.
Each of the invite-only communities that you join on Discord are called servers. And within just one server, you can have endless public or private chats called channels. This allows for multiple avenues for conversation to take place all within the same space!

Woah! Well, what does BFP use its server for? Why the need for a platform with so many chats?
BFP's server fulfills a number of purposes, including:
Since Discord can have loads of different chats all at once, we're able to offer a bunch of things in one place! If it feels like a lot, don't worry! You can choose which channels you want to get notifications from and hide the ones you won't use often.
- International volunteer communications and onboarding
- Private spaces for marginalized communities, geographical regions, and age groups
- Political discussions, a safe space to make mistakes, and learn
- Requesting and offering social justice, mental health, and academic resources
- 24/7 peer support and advice
- Our youth-run, revolutionary book club
- Sharing events and career/academic opportunities globally
- Mutual aid requests and offerings
- Sharing good news and shout-outs
- Self-care reminders
- Fun daily questions
- Sharing art, music, poetry, and memes
- Voice-chat hangouts for studying, gaming, and more

Wow! That sounds amazing! How can I join? I remember you saying servers were invite-only.
We love your excitement so much that we have a button below just for you! But before you join, please be aware that we have social contracts in place to ensure a safe space for everyone. These guidelines include respecting privacy, taking accountability, and knowing when to take breaks. They're agreed upon by the community and may change if needed.
Let's create an internationally safe space for marginalized youth together!
