Community Affiliates | FHG University

The one thing that makes this different: you are paid on people who stay, not on signups. A referral who cancels in the first month pays you nothing. That is deliberate, and it is the whole design — it means we are never asking you to talk someone into something that isn't for them, and your reputation in your own community stays yours.

What you'd actually be doing

Almost nothing new. You keep doing what you do, and when someone in front of you is looking for a way out of work that is going nowhere, you have something real to point at.

Inside your community: attraction, never promotion. No pitching from a pulpit, no working it into an intake appointment, no putting it in the bulletin. Those are shared spaces people come to for a reason that isn't commerce, and turning them into a channel is the one thing that would break the trust this whole program runs on. FHG comes up when somebody has the need and asks.

On your own platforms: promote freely, with disclosure. Your Instagram is yours. If you believe in this, say so — the only requirements are that you disclose you're compensated, and that you stay inside the claim boundaries below.

What it pays

What you earn	When	Cap
$9	Per referral, per month, while they stay subscribed	3 months — $27 per person

One rate, everyone, from day one. Nothing is paid until a referral passes 30 days, so a refund inside our guarantee never claws back money you were already owed. Forty signups who all cancel pays you nothing. Twenty who stay three months pays $540.

We removed the tiers because they rewarded the least valuable thing you can do here. One organization introduction pays what thirteen individual referrals pay — from a single conversation. The way to earn more isn’t a better rate. It’s the right conversation. Advocate and Community Lead still exist as recognition; they are no longer rates.

You can send your commission to your organization instead of yourself. A lot of people do. Say so on the form and we'll set it up that way.

What you can and cannot say

These are in the agreement, not just on this page, and they exist because a promise you can't keep costs you more than it costs us — it's your community.

No job guarantees, no salary promises, no timelines. Market wage data can be cited as market data, with the source.
Never "you'll get certified." Always "it prepares you for" — FHG certifies nobody, and says so on every page.
Only your own experience. "I looked at this for my community" is honest and persuasive. An invented testimonial is neither.
Disclose that you're compensated on every paid mention, in plain language, before the recommendation — not buried in a hashtag pile. This is a legal requirement, not a courtesy.
No cold outreach. No bought lists, no unsolicited DMs, no contacting someone who already said no.
Compass is never sold to a minor and never with fear-based parenting angles. Parents and educators buy it.

What you'll need

A real, current role in the community you'd be reaching. We don't place people into communities; we work with people already trusted in one.
Your organization's OK, if you hold a position in one. Some employers and ministries prohibit outside referral income, and finding that out afterwards is worse for you than for us.
A signed affiliate agreement, and a W-9 — you're an independent contractor, responsible for your own taxes, and we can't pay anyone before both exist.
Your referral link, the one-pager, and a named person here to ask questions.

The process is one conversation, not a funnel. You apply, we read it, and if it looks like a fit we talk once — that call decides it either way. We read every application and reply either way, usually within a week.

Apply

Your name

Your role Youth pastor, veteran service officer, librarian, shop steward, teacher — whatever it actually is.

The community you'd be reaching The church, post, branch, school or group by name.

Roughly how many people A rough number. This is sizing, not a target — nobody is held to it.

Which language would you work in?

Why do you want to do this? Your own words. Short is fine.

Someone in your group mentions they're job-hunting. What do you say? This is the part we read most carefully, so answer it the way you actually would.

Any paid referral relationships with other training platforms? "None" is a perfectly good answer.

My organization permits outside referral income, or I don't hold a position that restricts it.

We use what you send here only to review your application and get back to you. See our Privacy Policy.
