BGMD TEAM ONBOARDING • SCREEN FOUR

Tools & Access

These are the tools we use to run Black Girl Magic Day. Before you start tasks or watch orientation videos, make sure you have access to each one that applies to your role.

Core Tools

Microsoft Teams

Our main hub for communication, meetings, department updates, and shared files. Each department will have its own channel.

  • Check your BGMD email for an invite to join the BGMD Teams workspace.
  • Sign in using your BGMD Microsoft 365 email account.
  • Join your department channel (Programs, Sponsorships, Marketing, Operations, Finance).

BGMD Team Portal (this site)

This onboarding portal is your home base for mission, screens, videos, SOPs, checklists, and role guidance. Bookmark this link so you can return to it any time.

  • Read through each screen in order.
  • Return here when you need clarity on mission, roles, tools, or expectations.

File Storage

Department-specific documents, SOPs, templates, calendars, and shared resources will be stored through Microsoft Teams, OneDrive, or SharePoint.

  • Access your department’s shared files through Microsoft Teams.
  • Do not create personal versions of core documents unless asked.
  • Ask your department lead where to save new files before uploading or editing anything.
