Groups

How do I start a group?

First, browse through the list of existing groups to see if there's already an established group on the topic of interest where you can join it, and/or ask the host to co-host it.

Log in. Go to the Groups page (Community → Groups) and click the "Create Group" link.

What is a group host?

A host is a discussion leader – someone who has a positive attitude, is energetic and supportive, as well as enthusiastic and passionate about the group subject and wants to share that interest with others. Hosting does not require much time, but it is expected from the host that he/she is determining the structure and description of discussion topics. The host will also be eager to reply to other members’ posts or questions and welcome new members to the group.

Group hosts are expected to monitor for inappropriate posts on the board. It is also possible for group hosts to remove abusive or offensive posts.

Grow your Group

The success of your People for Earth group has to do with the number of members that join it as well as the actual content and conversations within it. In order to make your group more successful you should work to grow your group.

How do I remove a group I've created?

Select the appropriate group, and then select "Delete the Group” at the left of the screen.

How do I join a group?

Once you’ve located a group to join (you can browse the Groups directory or search for a group by keyword, category or tags) click “Join the Group” in the upper-left corner of the group’s page.

How can I invite members to join my group?

On the group homepage use the "Invite your Friends" button to invite your People for Earth friends to join and/or send messages through email to other contacts to join the group.

Respond to an invitation to join
