To become a Fello in our Alcohol or Drug Use vertical, we require all applicants to have maintained a minimum of 18 months of sobriety. This requirement ensures that our Fellos are in a balanced place in their own recovery journey before taking on the role of supporting others.
At Fello, we believe in caring for ourselves first, so that we can better care for others. This policy reflects our commitment to providing the highest level of peer-based support for our Finders and ensures that our Fellos are well-prepared to handle the challenges of this role.
If you are not yet 18 months sober but are still interested in becoming a Fello, we encourage you to reapply once you meet this requirement. If you are a good fit to be a Fello in our Relationships or Parenting life experience areas, you can still apply for those areas now, and add on Alcohol and/or Drug Use to your profile once you meet our sobriety requirements.
Your lived experience and vision to help others with similar challenges is incredibly valuable. We are hopeful that with more time in the recovery process, you'll be even more equipped to serve in a supportive capacity.
For any questions or further clarification, feel free to reach out to us at support@myfello.app.
