In the Benevity community, groups are either public or private. Knowing the difference helps you find the right space to connect, share, and engage with others.
Public Groups
- Easy Access: Anyone can join a public group without needing approval. Just hit join, and you’re in!
Private Groups
- Application Required: Joining a private group means applying first. These groups might cover more sensitive topics or personal experiences.
- Membership Info: To find out what you need to join a private group, check the About this group tab on the group’s homepage.
Some groups might be private to create a safe space for members to share, while others are public to welcome both members and allies. Once you’re a member of a group, you can chat, share, and access the group's resources freely.
Go to the All Groups tab and check the group summary to see if a group is public or private.
