🧩 Community Connect – FAQ

What is Community Connect?

Community Connect is a neighborhood platform that helps residents connect with local students in their community to finally tackle that lingering to-do list, enjoy a worry-free date night, or simply take a moment to recharge. Whether it’s babysitting, pet care, or household aid, help is just around the corner.

Who can post a task?

Any verified resident in the neighborhood can post a task. Whether you need a babysitter for a date night or help organizing your garage, just create a task and local students can respond.

Who are the students?

Local school and college students who’ve opted to participate. Their parents are involved throughout the process to ensure transparency and safety.

How do I know it’s safe?

All students are known to the community, and tasks are arranged directly between residents and students. No third-party platform, no strangers. You’ll see who’s responding before you commit.

How do you ensure safety as the platform grows?

As Community Connect expands, students and residents will have the option to work only within their circle of trust - a feature we’ll introduce once the pilot is validated. We’re also exploring ID verification, offender checks, and background checks to add extra layers of safety.

How do you ensure quality of work?

Students will earn experience certificates after completing key benchmarks, but only tasks rated 3 stars or higher will count toward those milestones. They can also earn badges based on the type and quality of work they do and these will appear on their profiles to help residents make informed choices.

Is the HOA involved?

No. The HOA is not responsible for any tasks or arrangements. This is a resident-led pilot with no HOA liability or resources required.
