Participation gaps

Who isn't here — the number that actually matters.

  • Building C at Maple has had no participants in six weeks.
  • Households with children under five are half as likely to attend evening events.
  • Four help requests in the last month went unanswered — all on weekday mornings.
Open Community Pulse

Organizer tools

Create a village

Define the boundary, the name, and who belongs.

Invite residents

Door codes, unit lists, QR posters for the lobby.

Publish activities

With what to bring, so people arrive useful.

Announcements

Rare by design. Two per month is the soft ceiling.

Learning paths

Sequence lessons for newcomers, hosts, or block leads.

Organize volunteers

Roles, not sign-up sheets taped to a door.

Coordinate resources

A tool library and a skills map for the whole village.

Send targeted nudges

To a building, a gap, or a group — never to everyone.

Nudges ready to send

Each one goes to a handful of people, not a broadcast list.

  • A new household joined Oak Grove Village last week. Want to welcome them?
  • Someone nearby is looking for a ladder. You marked yours as available to lend.
  • Three neighbors you know are going to Saturday's potluck. Want to join them?
  • You started thinking about how to welcome newcomers. There's a four-minute lesson that finishes the thought.

Latent assets in the directory

Offered but rarely asked for — worth surfacing at the next gathering.
