Gatherings

For groups and co-ops

One home for your whole co-op.

Announcements, events, classes and member families, in an app built for homeschool groups, not borrowed from somewhere else.

Create your group

Everything your group needs to stay in touch.

  • Announcements and comments

    Post news, photos and questions where every family will see them, and see who has read them.

  • Chat and direct messages

    Talk one-on-one or in small threads without swapping phone numbers.

  • Group calendar

    Classes, field trips and park days on one calendar, with RSVPs and reminders.

  • Circles

    Smaller groups for a class, an age range or an interest. Circle posts only email the families who joined.

  • Sign-ups, polls and files

    Sign-up sheets, quick polls, and photos and documents shared with everyone or one Circle.

  • Shared courses

    Pass courses between families so the work of planning gets shared too.

For leaders

The admin work, handled.

  1. Applications to join

    Write your own questions. Leaders read each application and approve or deny it.

  2. Personal invites

    Invite a family directly, and choose whether invited families still wait for approval.

  3. Co-op classes

    Terms, class periods, enrollment with waitlists, rosters, and attendance that flows into each family's records.

  4. Secure leader accounts

    Owners and admins can turn on two-step sign-in for extra protection.

Safe for teens and children

Young children get no accounts. Parents invite their teens, decide how they join teen Circles, can see their posts and comments, and turn direct messages on or off.
