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
Make the invitation useful at a glance.
A local plan needs a real time, an appropriate place, and clear expectations. Check the details before asking people to make room in their day.
- Broad neighborhood, city, and ZIP code
- Activity, date, time, and how to respond
- Confirmed venue, accessibility, and weather backup
- Any cost, supplies, or permission needed

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 →Does a community event have to be a big gathering?
No. A short walk, a book exchange, or a small seasonal tradition is plenty. Start with something one or two people can organize.
What is the difference between a group plan and county Happenings?
Plans stay inside your group. Approved public activities can appear in the county Happenings feed. A private member post is not automatically a public event listing.
What belongs in an event invitation?
Include the activity, date, time, meeting place, access information, costs or supplies, and how to respond. Add a backup plan if weather or space could change things.
Can members share an outside activity link?
Yes. Members can share HTTPS links to an activity or its original source. Check the current listing before posting and point people to it for changes.
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.
Do we need permission for a shared or public space?
Check with whoever manages the space before making plans. A Nayborlee post does not reserve a venue or grant permission to use it.
How should we share photos afterward?
Ask the people pictured before sharing photos. Take particular care with children’s images and keep personal details out of public materials.
