Neighborhood Circles: Your Local Support Network
10-50 Trusted Neighbors Who Have Your Back
Join a small, local group that provides structured, reliable mutual support through community projects and confirmed commitments
What Is a Neighborhood Circle
A Neighborhood Circle is a local group of 10-50 neighbors who support each other through structured mutual aid. Members join through concrete community projects, share requests and offers, and build the kind of reliable backup that extended families used to provide.
Why 10-50 People
Between 10 and 50 members. Below 10 the group lacks the breadth to cover varied needs; above 50 trust thins out and personal connections become harder to maintain. The range is small enough for everyone to know each other and large enough for real coverage.
Hosts Guide the Circle
Each circle has up to 3 hosts who welcome new members, confirm matches, and help the group run smoothly. Hosts are not authorities — they're trusted neighbors who volunteer to keep things organized.
How Circles Work
Join a Dream
You join the circle by taking part in your first dream—a concrete community project near you. A street festival, a shared garden, a repair afternoon. Meet the neighbors doing it, build trust through action.
Requests & Offers
Post what you need or what you can offer through the app. The platform suggests likely matches. Hosts confirm connections and members commit to helping each other—real commitments that actually happen.
Real Support
Need help moving? Someone will show up. Feeling lonely? Members check in. Borrow a drill, share a ride to the doctor, find a dog-sitter. Not vague promises — real action.
Your Membership Travels With You
If you move to a new city, your membership comes with you. Join a circle in your new neighborhood without paying again.
Always Free
The platform is free for everyone, permanently. Funded by donations and grants. Nobody ever pays to give or receive help. No one is excluded for financial reasons.
