Nine modules, one community.
The feed
Where the community shows up daily. Text, photo, video and article posts, plus two admin post types built for engagement rather than broadcast.
- Link posts pull the image, headline and description from any URL automatically
- Weekly trivia with its own tab, so a program can run a recurring format without inventing one
- Hashtags work as live filters, giving a game weekend or a giving day a home with nothing to build
- Posts and events are edited in place, keeping every like, comment and RSVP already collected
- Schedule a week of content in one sitting and edit or cancel anything still queued
Directory and connections
An alumni, student and company directory that reflects who has actually joined, not who was imported from a spreadsheet.
- Search by name, position or company; filter across nine industries
- Connections are double opt-in, so members control who reaches them
- Members who have never signed in stay hidden until their first login, with an admin control to reveal them
- A profile becomes visible the moment its owner arrives, with nothing for staff to approve
Messaging
Three levels of conversation, each with a different job.
- One to one, between connected members
- Group threads, named, for reunion committees and game-day crews, each with its own private feed
- Broadcast, one-way to every member at once, client admin only, bypassing the connection gate
Broadcasts land as Announcements at the top of each member's inbox rather than as another thread to answer. Every send is logged with its date, recipient count and email delivery status.
Events
Game days, receptions, reunions and watch parties, with registration built in rather than bolted to a third-party form.
- Create and host from inside the community
- Members browse upcoming events, register, and track their own registrations
- Filter by type or narrow to upcoming only
- Event imagery and in-person tagging
Groups
Sub-communities that let a network organise itself instead of waiting for staff to organise it.
- Open or private groups by industry, region or interest
- Member counts, categories and membership management
- Each group carries its own private feed
Mentoring
Alumni declare what they can help with and how much capacity they have. Athletes and recent graduates raise a hand. This is the module horizontal platforms treat as an add-on and a program treats as the point.
- Mentor profiles with an accepting-requests toggle, so nobody gets asked when they are underwater
- Find a mentor, request, and track pending and active mentorships
- Separate mentor and mentee views with live counts
Jobs
A jobs board scoped to your program. Alumni post real openings at their own employers, and alumni and athletes apply. Real roles from people who share a locker room beat a generic board every time.
- Alumni post roles directly, with one-tap Easy Apply for members
- Filter by full-time, part-time, contract, internship or remote
- Sits alongside mentoring and video profiles, so an employer sees the person and not just the résumé line
Profiles
Enough to be findable, and one thing a résumé cannot carry.
- Photo, headline, location, class year and industry
- A short video introduction tagged with transferable skills, visible to alumni employers at the member's own choice
- A single low-friction prompt at login asks a member to confirm or correct one field, keeping the directory accurate without an import
- Admins choose which fields rotate through that prompt and how often members are asked
Giving
A donation control that lives inside the community rather than at the end of an email, carrying your program's mark in your colours everywhere it appears.
- In-feed giving, present on the screen members already visit
- Branded to the program, not to the vendor
Read the roadmap before building a fundraising case on this module. Wallet payments and CRM sync are both still ahead of us.
