Block Party Organizing

A neighborhood block party site that helps organize, celebrate, and document block parties. The site can either live as a page within a larger Neighbor Hub or stand alone at a custom URL for a specific block and year (e.g. 48thAveBlockParty2025.org). Memory & Momentum: After the party, the site serves as a joyful record and keeps the spark alive for next year.

Public-Facing Features Hero Section: Block party name, date, and a short celebratory note (before: "Join us!" / after: "What an incredible day!"). Event Details: Key logistics like time, date, location, and description. Site Plan: Visual diagram of the street layout, stations, barricades, and schedule (uploadable image). Volunteer Sign-Ups: Cards for each role (e.g. Setup, Food, Activities, Support), each showing: Role name + emoji/icon Time commitment or shift details Spots available / filled Sign-up button with fields for Name, Email, and optional Notes (what you can bring/offer) Acknowledgements: Partners, funders, and thank-yous. Photo Gallery: Space for sharing highlights after the party. Stay Tuned Section: Invitation to connect about next year.

Steward/Admin Features Admin Login: Password-protected steward dashboard. Sign-Up Roster: List of all volunteer sign-ups by role, exportable as CSV. Draft Day-of Schedule: Auto-generated table that assigns roles and shifts based on sign-ups. Editable by steward. Email List View: One-click to copy all participant emails (comma-separated or bcc-ready). Notes Field: Each volunteer's optional notes are visible to help with coordination.

Relational Touches Use emojis for roles to add warmth (e.g. 🎤 Emcee, 🍕 Pizza Setup, 🪩 Dance Class Rally Team). When someone signs up, they see a thank-you message like: "You're part of the magic! We'll be in touch with details." Public page updates in real-time to show when slots are filled — celebrating collective effort. After the event, steward can flip site content to a "reflection mode" with photos, gratitude, and next-year teaser.

Example User Stories As a parent with kids, I want to see the site plan so I know where the bounce house and art supplies will be. As a neighbor, I want to sign up to bring folding tables so the organizers don't have to track me down. As the steward, I want a copy-paste email list so I can write thank-yous to everyone who pitched in. As a visitor after the event, I want to relive the day with photos and know how to join next year.
