The Sharehood
Oct. 6th, 2009 10:06 pmA few weeks ago I posted about intentional communities and suggested that perhaps I should just get to know my neighbors.
Tonight I went to my first Urban Coup meeting and found somone who had the same thought - and did it!!!!!
The Sharehood is a website set up to facilitate neighborhoods becoming communities that share babysitting, swap work and get to know each other socially.
After you join you can only see profiles and offers/wanteds from people who live within 400m of your address.
They provide a sample letter for letterboxing your neighborhood and then suggest you set up some sort of social get together. They also facilitate a more formal bartering system.
It's really cool!! I've joined but now I need to letterbox so my neighbors can also join.
