For neighbors
Ask without shame. Offer without pressure.
Some seasons you could use a hand. Other seasons you have one to give. Here, both are ordinary.
Individuals never pay.
Two paths. One choice.
I doubt you.
- Closed. Suspicious. Defensive.
I see you.
- Open. Kind. Willing.
What it is like here
Asking is ordinary here.
Getting started
Three small steps.
Find your community
Look through the communities near you: a neighborhood group, a nonprofit, a congregation, a school.
Say hello
Sign in with a one-time code and ask to join. A person at that community welcomes you in.
Ask, offer, show up
Post what would help, or answer someone else. That is all there is to it.
Questions people ask
What does it cost me?
Nothing. Individuals never pay on CooperationEngine. Organizations carry the cost.
Will my hard season be on display?
You ask by nickname, and people see a general area. Your exact address is shared once you accept an offer of help.
What if my community is still to come?
Share CooperationEngine with a group you already belong to, and leave us your name. We will write when there is news worth your time.
Do I have to offer something to be able to ask?
Asking stands by itself. Many people ask in one season and offer in another, and both are welcome any time.
The kitchen table, made bigger
Pull up a chair.
A long table with many seats taken, each with a glowing heart, and one open seat for you.
There is a seat for you.
