Early voices

What founding members are saying as the platform takes shape.

Jaime

Founder · this week

I built Revel Sphere to bridge the gap between digital connection and local action, providing communities with free, accessible tools to organize committees and launch impactful projects.

Maya

Founding member · 2 days ago

I came here looking for a place to plug in after I moved. Joined a sphere on housing the same day, and by the end of the week I knew three community members by name.

Diego

Volunteer organizer · 5 days ago

My co-leads and I plan, sign volunteers up, and follow up together in one shared space. We get to put our energy into the work itself and into the people showing up for it.

They started by asking what our org actually needed. We shaped the setup together — and now it feels like ours.

Inside the Community Hub

A daily check-in for
your neighborhood.

The Hub is the front page for everyone in your sphere — what's happening this week, who's asking for help, who's offering it, and the events landing soon. No timeline algorithm; just the people in your community.

  • Live community feed

    Asks, offers, and updates from your sphere — newest first, no ranking games.

  • Nearby offers & needs

    Spot what's happening within walking distance before you scroll further.

  • Daily wisdom

    A rotating quote from the activist heritage — anchor before you act.

  • Inline guide nudges

    When a thread needs a follow-up or framing, the Community Guide quietly suggests one.

The civic engine

Show up,
then talk about it.

HQ is where civic action gathers across the network — pledges, calls, public comments, and bills in plain language. Add your name, your voice, your minute on a Tuesday. Every action rolls up to your county, your state, and the community members doing the same work somewhere else.

  • Sign a pledge

    Add your name to a national campaign and see how many community members in your state stand with you.

  • Call your rep

    A three-minute flow — issue, district, script in your voice — and the call gets logged.

  • Public comment

    Pick an open federal docket, draft from a template, send it to the record forever.

  • Plain Language Civics

    Paste a bill number, get a calm nonpartisan summary — what it does, who it affects, where you come in.

Volunteers & community members

Find a group around what you care about.

Spheres are also shared-interest groups — a place to ideate through topics, attend the events your group plans, and meet community members actually doing the work. Many volunteers start here, get hooked, and become organizers themselves.

  • Browse spheres near you, scoped to your county — see who's already gathering around what.
  • Forum mode keeps it lightweight: chat, topics, and events without a planning header to wrangle.
  • Show up to events with confidence — hours track automatically, a profile shows your history.
  • When a topic gets serious, you can spin up your own sphere with one click.

A planning HQ across all your committees.

On three boards and two committees? Spheres handle the planning, surface help requests, and let your AI co-organizer pull structure from chat — so you stop being admin and get back to organizing.

  • Sub-spheres for committees: spin off Housing, Food, Transit under one umbrella when an effort grows.
  • AI co-organizer pulls action items, deadlines, and owners from meeting notes and chat.
  • Budget tracking, light CRM, recurring meetings, multi-month timelines — built for the long haul.
  • Surface needs across spheres so the right person finds the right ask without you cross-posting.

Our culture

Built on belonging. Enforced with care.

Revel Sphere exists to uplift — never to exclude. This is who we are and what we protect.

Radically inclusive

LGBTQIA+, Black, Brown, Indigenous, disabled, immigrant, houseless, formerly incarcerated — if you want to build community, you belong here. Full stop. We center the voices most often pushed to the margins.

Zero tolerance for hate

Racism, transphobia, homophobia, xenophobia, ableism, and white supremacy have no place here. This platform will never be used to organize harm against any community. Movements rooted in hate or oppression are not welcome.

Actively moderated

Trolling, harassment, and bad-faith content are flagged by our moderation system and reviewed by admin. Disruptive accounts are removed. Sphere founders also have tools to protect their communities.

Action that heals, never harms

Revel Sphere facilitates community building, mutual aid, advocacy, and service. We do not host, promote, or tolerate activity that targets, dehumanizes, or endangers any group of people — regardless of how it brands itself.

Community agreement: By joining Revel Sphere you agree to build up, not tear down. Every member, every sphere, every event is held to this standard. If you see something that doesn't belong, report it.

Need an accommodation?

Email hello@revelsphere.org and we'll work with you — extra time on sign-ups, alternate formats, a phone call instead of a form, whatever helps you participate.

Frequently asked questions

What is Revel Sphere?

Revel Sphere is a community-powered platform that connects volunteers, advocates, and organizers with local service events, social gatherings, and cause-based groups called spheres. Built for communities, nonprofits, activists, and anyone who wants to turn caring into doing — Revel Sphere makes it easy to find opportunities, organize action, track your impact, and build lasting community.

How does volunteer tracking work?

When you sign up for an event and check in, your volunteer hours are automatically logged to your profile. Over time you earn recognition badges, build an impact history, and can share your contributions with organizations. Every hour timestamped, every event verifiable — just show up and it counts.

What are spheres?

Spheres are community groups organized around a shared cause or interest — environmental stewardship, food security, youth mentoring, community safety, or anything else. Each sphere has its own feed, events, members, and moderation tools. You can join existing spheres or create your own using the manual builder or the AI-powered Sprout Guide.

Is Revel Sphere for organizations?

Yes. Nonprofits, city programs, and community organizations can use Revel Sphere to post volunteer opportunities, track engagement, and reach new volunteers. White-label deployments with operations support are available for teams that want a branded surface of their own.

Can I use Revel Sphere for advocacy and activism?

Absolutely. Revel Sphere is built for action — and that includes advocacy, activism, and civic engagement. Create a sphere around housing justice, climate action, voter registration, public health, or any cause that needs a coordinated voice. Organize rallies, letter-writing campaigns, town hall prep sessions, and direct action events. Track participation, grow your base, and keep momentum between actions — all in one place.

How does volunteer coordination work in a Revel Space?

Each Revel Space is a full volunteer coordination toolkit. Post an event, set shift capacity, and volunteers can sign up, check in on mobile, and get automatic hour tracking — all in one shared space. Volunteer profiles store skills, interests, and availability so you can match the right people to the right shift in a couple of clicks.

Can I track volunteer hours for students, grants, or CSR programs?

Yes. Hours are logged automatically when a volunteer checks in at an event, and each volunteer has a shareable impact profile. Coordinators can export participation reports for grant applications, school service-learning requirements, court-ordered community service, or corporate volunteer programs. Everything is timestamped and tied to a verifiable event — ready for the report on day one.

What tools come with a Revel Space?

Every space includes shift sign-ups, volunteer check-ins, automatic hour tracking, a volunteer database with skills and availability, meeting logs and notes, resource requests for supplies and gear, posts and replies for group communication, forms for intake and surveys, and the AI Community Organizer for drafting events end-to-end. Spaces can run in planning mode (full suite) or forum mode (chat + events only) depending on how your community operates.
