How It Works

Learn how to create programs, start chapters, and build community.

Join Something lets you create, remix, and spread programs that bring people together.

We firmly believe society's slide towards isolation and individualism is a major contributor to the challenges we face today, and it's something we have the power to reverse.

THE GIST

  1. Program Creators design reusable event templates and resources.
  2. Chapter Leaders implement those programs in their communities.
  3. Members discover and participate in events that match their interests.


AS A PROGRAM CREATOR


1 - Create a Program
This is the core idea behind what you're offering.

2 - Create an Event Template
This is how your Program gets implemented. Most Programs have one kind of Event that's the main way people gather, but it can have others as well.

3 - Create a Chapter
You can now establish a chapter for that Program in your city. And so can everyone else!

As a Program creator, you'll have the ability to create Resources to help make Chapter Leaders' lives easier. You can include best practices, templates, graphics for social media, logos... you name it. 

You'll also have the ability to adjust things like moderation—Programs can be freely remixed by anyone by default, but you can choose to make it an approval-based process. 


AS A LOCAL CHAPTER LEADER


This platform lets you easily find some of the best models for bringing people together and instantly set up a version of it for where you live. 

If you're looking for an excuse to host something, we've got you covered. 

And if you're already running a group that has something unique to offer, you can submit it to be featured here as a Program that can spread organically. 


AS A VISITOR

As we grow, you'll find more and more things to join in your area. We aim to make it as easy as possible for you to find something that will get you out of the house and connecting to others.
