Set up your neighborhood's page

Everything about the neighborhood itself lives on one page under Settings → Neighborhood. It's split into sections you open by clicking their titles: Basics, Logo, Theme, Public contact info, Boundaries, Club petitions, Community notifications, Facility reservations, Sponsorships, Vendors, and Budgets & reimbursements. The whole page is one form, so the Save button sits in a bar along the bottom of the screen and stays there however far you scroll. Change things in several sections, then save once.

Your state, city, and neighborhood name are shown but locked. Volunteer group is optional: fill it in (for example, Maple Grove Neighborhood Association) and that is the name your events show as their organizer. Households in your community is an estimate, and community plans are sized by it. Time zone matters most: every event time is stored and shown in it, so set it before you create events. Let search engines list this neighborhood is on unless you turn it off; off asks search engines to leave your public pages out, while anyone with the link can still visit.

Upload a PNG, JPG, or SVG under 5MB with Upload new logo. It appears in your public page's banner and on QR codes and other branded materials, so a square, simple mark reads best at small sizes. Once one is uploaded, the section shows it with a Remove Logo link if you want to go back to none.

The theme sets the colors, pattern, and icon on your public neighborhood and clubs pages, emails about the neighborhood itself, your start-a-club link (its form, banners, and share preview), and any club petition that hasn't chosen its own look. Under Customize Your Theme, start from one of the themes in Choose a Starting Theme and adjust the colors, pattern, font style, and icon. Live Preview beside it shows the result as a page Header, a Social Media share card, and an Email Header. An event or contest that hasn't picked its own theme wears this one too, on its page, its emails, and the preview image when its link is shared, so changing it repaints them. Events and contests with a theme of their own, and clubs and their events, keep theirs. Until you choose one, everything uses the platform's Community Default.

Contact name or group, Contact email, Contact phone, and Website or link are all optional. Whatever you fill in appears in the banner of your public neighborhood page, and to registrants on their confirmation and manage pages. The banner's main button uses the first one you provided, in this order: Email the volunteers, Call the volunteers, or Visit volunteer site, with the rest listed beside it.

View public page on Overview opens your neighborhood page as residents see it. Your theme and logo fill the banner with your contact button. Below it come any featured community links, your upcoming events with a calendar, a clubs teaser, community resources, and recent photos. Further down, your clubs and open club petitions get their own section, and Local businesses appears while you're taking vendor or sponsor applications. Club events from affiliated clubs show on the same calendar as your own.
