Give everyone a way in.
Welcome new people with a clear purpose, a useful introduction, and one small way to take part.
← Who Nayborlee is for
For groups & co-ops
A shared purpose. A place to make it happen.
Bring together the people behind your garden, co-op, club, or shared project. Give useful updates, offers of help, and the next work day one place to live.
Free for neighbors. Free to start with a public introduction. Fully private group plans.
Why Nayborlee
Turn a shared interest into shared action.
Make the next task easier.
Ask for help with a garden bed, market morning, or club gathering. Be specific about what is needed and when.
Keep the useful things together.
Share project links and practical knowledge where members can find them again.
Everyday invitations
A project starts with an invitation.
Ideas to adapt for your own group.
A shared task
“Who can help get the garden beds ready on Sunday?”
A useful offer
“I have seed trays to share with the group.”
A small gathering
“Bring a book and a suggestion for next month.”
From a hello to a first plan
One person can
get it started.
Find an existing group first. If there isn’t one for your place, give your people a clear reason to join.
Look for your group →Introduce your place.
Choose a name, broad location, and who belongs. Decide whether to have a public introduction or a fully private group.
Complete your next step.
Public groups are reviewed before they open; private groups go to checkout and open after confirmed payment. Once your group opens, follow your account’s setup steps.
Invite your first people.
Use the joining option your group has chosen. Post a welcome and one easy plan, then invite others to help shape what comes next.
Make it local
Introduce the purpose and the people.
Tell people what you do together, the broad area you serve, and how they can contribute. A clear introduction helps people decide whether this is their group.
- Group name, purpose, city, and ZIP code
- Who can participate and how to join
- A first task or gathering people can opt into
- Official venue or project links where relevant

Before the first hello
Questions before you get started.
Practical answers for the people who live here and the people helping them connect.
See current pricing →Can a group be organized around a purpose instead of a street?
Yes. A garden, cooperative, club, or shared project can bring people together. Give your group a broad local area and explain the purpose and who belongs.
What should our first post ask for?
Choose one concrete action: bring a tool, suggest a book, or join a short work session. Include timing, where to find details, and how to respond.
How do we welcome people with different experience levels?
Explain any skills needed and identify something a newcomer can do. Avoid assuming everyone already knows the project, its vocabulary, or the other members.
Can members form smaller interest groups?
Interest circles can bring members together around a smaller activity within the wider group. Keep the main introduction clear about the purpose of the overall group.
What is public, and what stays inside the group?
A free group has a public introduction with its name, purpose, and broad location. Member conversations and member lists stay inside the group. A fully private group has no public introduction or search listing and uses the Organizer plan. Keep private addresses and access details out of the public introduction.
What does it cost?
Neighbors participate free. Starting a group with a public introduction is free. Fully private groups use one Organizer plan per group; see Pricing for current rates and renewal terms. View pricing and billing terms.
Can we choose how people join?
Yes. A group with a public introduction can use invitations, reviewed requests, or direct joining. Fully private groups are invitation-only. Explain who the group is for in its introduction so people can choose the right place.
What happens after I propose a group?
Public groups are reviewed before they open. Private groups go to checkout and open after confirmed payment, with no admin approval. Once your group opens, complete the setup shown in your account and welcome your first members.
Can more than one person help organize?
Yes. More than one person can help organize a group. Start with a small team and agree who welcomes people, helps with joining requests, and keeps the first few plans moving.
Where can we find things to do nearby?
Browse Happenings for county activities and area guides, then share a relevant link with your group. Check the original organizer’s listing for the latest time, location, cost, and accessibility details before making a plan. Private group plans stay separate from public activity listings. Explore Happenings.
Does the group handle cooperative dues or project accounts?
The Organizer subscription covers Nayborlee group access. It is not a system for managing co-op dues, project budgets, or member payments. Keep those arrangements in your established process.
What should we check before a work day?
Confirm venue permission, access, equipment, the task, and who is coordinating. Share the original venue or project guidance and explain any requirements before people volunteer.
