Become a Village Leader

Get paid to bring your community together.

Start a local gathering people actually look forward to. We hand you the tools, the training, and a way to earn from the community you build — all powered by JoinMe.

No experience needed — just a love of bringing people together.

So, what's a Village?

A Village is a real, regular gathering of local people — a street, a suburb, a school, a workplace, a wellness group — run by someone like you. Think of it as your own community chapter: a warm, recurring meet-up with a proven rhythm, promoted and managed through the JoinMe app.

You bring the people together. We make it easy — and pay you for it.

Why lead a Village?

Be the connector

You become the person who brings your community to life. The one who makes the introductions, starts the traditions, and turns strangers into neighbours.

Earn as you grow

This isn't volunteering. You earn recurring income from every member you gather and keep — month after month, as your Village grows.

Never on your own

Host training, ready-to-run meeting formats, event templates, and your own spot on the map. We've built the system so you can focus on the people.

How it works

1

Apply

Tell us about you and the community you want to gather. It takes about five minutes.

2

Get approved & trained

We'll set up a quick call, get you approved, and walk you through everything you need to launch.

3

Host your first gathering

Pick your date, set it up on JoinMe, and open the doors. Your toolkit does the heavy lifting.

4

Grow & earn

Welcome members, keep them coming back, and watch your Village — and your income — grow.

What you earn

Village Leaders earn a set amount for every active member, every single month. It's simple and it compounds: the more people you bring together and keep, the more you earn.

A 40-member Village earns its Leader around $600 a month — and that's just the start. Larger Villages, ticketed events, and local sponsorships all add to it.

We'll walk you through the full earning model and everything it takes to get started on your call.

Ongoing support

A real team behind you, plus a whole community of fellow Leaders.

Is this you?

You don't need to be a business owner, an event planner, or a public speaker. You just need to be the kind of person who likes bringing people together.

  • Community connectors and natural organisers
  • School and workplace people
  • Faith and wellness group leaders
  • Anyone who's ever thought "someone should start something around here."

If that's you — it's you.

Be a Founder

JoinMe is on a mission to reconnect communities in real life — and we're looking for the first 1,000 people to lead the way. Founding Leaders help shape how this movement grows, get a direct line to our team, and wear the Forever Founder badge that says: you were here first.

Questions? Answered.

How much time does it take?

Most Leaders run a gathering every fortnight, plus a little time promoting it in between. You set the pace that works for your life.

Do I need experience?

Not at all. If you can send a message and welcome a newcomer with a smile, we'll teach you the rest.

What does it cost to start?

There's a one-time founding licence to establish your Village, starting from $497 for our first Founding Leaders. It covers your training, toolkit, launch support, and your place on the map. We'll go through it all openly on your call — no surprises, no pressure.

How and when do I get paid?

You earn recurring income from your active members, paid to you monthly through JoinMe. We'll cover the full model on your call.

Is this a franchise?

Not in the traditional sense. You run your own independent Village, your way, using our brand, tools, and support under a simple community licence. You're a partner in the movement — never an employee, and never on your own.

What if my Village is slow to grow?

We don't leave you to figure it out. Your launch support, toolkit, and fellow Leaders are all there to help you build momentum — and we'll troubleshoot with you if things start slow.
