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 community →Introduce your place.
Choose a name, broad location, and who belongs. Decide whether to have a public introduction or a fully private group.
Complete review and setup.
Nayborlee reviews new groups before they open. After approval, follow your account’s setup steps, including Organizer coverage if your group is fully private.
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 grown-up community clearly.
Explain which parents and caregivers the group serves. Use a broad area and official links; keep children’s identifying information out of public materials.
- Parent-group name, broad area, city, and ZIP
- Who belongs and that the group is parent-led
- Official school and transport communication links
- A gathering that works for different schedules and access needs

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 →Is this run by or endorsed by the school?
A parent-led group is independent unless the school has explicitly authorized otherwise. It does not replace official school communication. Be clear about that in the introduction.
Can caregivers other than parents take part?
Describe who your group welcomes, such as guardians and other authorized caregivers. Each group sets its joining rules; make those expectations clear.
What information about children should we avoid posting?
Keep children’s full names, photos, routines, and detailed schedules out of public materials. Be careful even within the member group and get appropriate permission before sharing someone else’s information.
Can a post authorize a pickup or change a school arrangement?
No. Handle pickup permission, transport changes, and school arrangements through the school’s official process and directly with the responsible adults. A group post is not authorization.
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 community; see Pricing for current rates, trial eligibility, and renewal terms. View pricing and trial 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?
Nayborlee reviews new groups before they open. After approval, complete the setup shown in your account, choose any required Organizer coverage for a fully private group, and then welcome your first members.
Can more than one person help organize?
Yes. More than one person can help organize a community. 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.
How can busy families join in?
Offer small, optional ways to participate and vary gathering times. Do not assume everyone can attend during the school day or bring supplies.
Where should closures and official announcements come from?
Link to the school, district, or transport provider’s original notice and check it before sharing. Use the official channel for current instructions and urgent changes.
