PROJECT BACKGROUND

Nextdoor.com is a social network for neighbors. Unlike Facebook or Instagram, Nextdoor limits participants to those living in your neighborhood and 10 neighborhoods around yours.

​For example, I live in downtown and can see that 26 neighbors in the Artists Village neighborhood are on Nextdoor.com while over 500 neighbors in Floral Park are signed-up.

We believe if more people sign-up on Nextdoor.com, they will have some basic tools at their disposal to communicate and coordinate activities with neighbors. We want to work with as many partners as possible to increase sign-ups on Nextdoor.com and plan to track our progress here.

PROJECT GOALS

1. Get a tally of all current sign-ups in Santa Ana's 64 Neighborhoods
2. Learn all the ways to promote sign-ups on Nextdoor.com and generate a guide to using these tools
3. Partner across the city with those who want to help increase their neighborhood's participation on Nextdoor.com
4. Request the City of Santa Ana start using Nextdoor (the City can access special tools to communicate with us using Nextdoor.
5. Extract other useful information from Nextdoor like neighborhood interests and total population to gage the success of our campaign and help others with data resources.
6. Cross-reference the Nextdoor data with other databases including the City's neighborhood demographic data and ESRI Tapestry zip code data

HOW TO PARTICIPATE

Contact us to join our team and help your neighborhood.

We need help:

1. Sign-up on Nextdoor.com
2. Help us get the current member tally from all neighborhoods (each of us can only see some of the neighborhoods from our accounts).
3. Use Nextdoor's built-in promotion tools to increase neighbors signed-up (you can print fliers, door signs, e-mail your contacts to join and send physical postcards to neighbors using Nextdoor).
4. Host a workshop or invite us to talk to neighbors on how to use Nextdoor as a useful tool for neighborhood communication
5. Write a letter to the City requested their participation on Nextdoor with a "Public Agency" account
