I overhauled the Discord server for Charlotte Atheists and Agnostics, turning it into a full virtual-meeting and communication hub — with archived meeting minutes, dedicated committee channels, and years of forum history migrated into one modern, active space.
Keeping a Community Connected Online
When in-person gatherings weren’t feasible, the organization needed a real online home — not just a chat app, but a structured place to hold planning meetings, keep records, and let committees do focused work. The old setup couldn’t do that, and years of forum history risked being left behind.
What I Delivered
Virtual meeting hub
Rebuilt the server to host organized planning meetings when in-person gatherings weren't possible.
Archived minutes
Set up storage and archiving of meeting minutes so records stayed easy to find and reference.
Committee channels
Organized dedicated channels per committee for focused discussion and efficient collaboration.
Forum migration
Migrated historical discussions from the old forum into Discord — nothing lost, everything modernized.
Find Them Online
Real links from the project — see the work for yourself.

The Impact
A revamped Discord that kept the organization connected and active regardless of external challenges — smoother virtual meetings, preserved history, and committees with a real place to work.
Meeting People Where They Are
Community doesn’t survive on good intentions — it survives on tools people actually use. Restructuring Discord into a real meeting-and-records platform kept Charlotte Atheists and Agnostics engaged and organized through a period when staying connected was anything but automatic.
