The Freecycle Group Outreach and Assistance (GOA) volunteers are available as a resource for mods, to offer support to groups and help them over any Freecycle issues (not just any difficulties) they may be facing. GOA volunteers have the authority and experience to be the final arbiter of any and every issue out there.

If you need to step down as moderator or get temporary help covering your group, your GOA can help.

If you are unsure of how to proceed with an issue, especially a delicate or confidential one that would be inappropriate to post on the Freecycle Leadership Community, then your first port of call should be your GOA. Issues may be because of rival/rogue 'Freecycle' groups; misuse of the Freecycle name; questions about group splits, problems relating to relationship with local authorities, sensitive issues with fellow mods or neighboring groups, general concerns or requesting removal of members; or just to let them know about something good that has happened within your group.

They are also volunteers just like everyone else, and may be pushed for time with many complex and sensitive jobs, so do be patient unless you are having a group emergency.

Please refer to the table below and contact the Group Outreach and Assistance volunteer (GOA) for your country, state, or region.

If you cannot find your GOA in the list, here is how to contact us. Please include your country in the subject of your message so the appropriate GOA will respond.
