Starting a Community Club

Hello! I’m interested in starting my own community club in northern Maryland. The closest one to me is 3hrs away and in another state. No meet ups either. Any idea on how I can get started?

Hi @Yaravi0 ! It is so nice to hear that you are interested in building a Host Club for your area. You could apply to become a leader to a group near you as well, if there's not one already setup or suitable here : https://www.airbnb.co.uk/d/community-leaders. Do keep us updated on how it goes for you! 

 

Also on a side note, did you happen to Explore the upgrades in the Airbnb 2023 Winter Release? We would love to hear how you think of it😍

Starting your own community club in northern Maryland is a fantastic idea! Here's a basic roadmap to help you get started:

1. Define Your Purpose: Decide the focus and purpose of your club. What will your club be about? What activities or interests will it revolve around?

2. Identify Your Target Audience: Determine who you want to attract to your club. What kind of people would be interested in your club's activities or mission?

3. Plan Regular Meetings: Decide on a regular meeting schedule, whether it's weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly. Choose a convenient location for these meetings.

4. Online Presence: Create a website or social media profiles to help potential members find and connect with your club.

5. Outreach: Promote your club within your local community and online. Use local bulletin boards, social media, and word of mouth to spread the word.

6. Organize Events: Host events, workshops, or activities related to your club's focus. This will help attract members and keep them engaged.

7. Membership Structure: Decide whether you want to charge membership fees, and if so, what benefits members will receive.

8. Engage with Members: Listen to feedback and engage with your members to ensure the club evolves to meet their needs and interests.

9. Grow and Adapt: As your club grows, be prepared to adapt and evolve based on the interests and needs of your members.

Starting a community club takes time and effort, but it can be incredibly rewarding. Building a strong community and fostering shared interests can bring people together and create lasting bonds. Good luck with your club!
