Our Platform Never Stops Growing
Below the surface of every great PeopleGrove community, lies a great PeopleGrove product that encourages learners at every stage of their journey to flourish.
Not Just Another Network -
Your Network
Imagine a world of 1st-level connections, all with one thing in common: your community, its needs, and real-time opportunities.
One Community, From Enrollment to Alumni.
PeopleGrove guarantees:
Designed For More Meaningful Connections
Advanced Matching Algorithm
Who should I talk to? It's question #1. Users receive recommendations to connect with other learners who are both like-minded and likely to respond, based on their activity levels.
Steps to Grow Your Network
Reaching out can be intimidating. With best-practice, step-by-step guidance delivered in three simple steps, even the most novice networker can have the confidence of a pro.
Time-Delayed Automatic Greetings
And yet, sometimes fear gets the best of us. On LinkedIn, when a new user joins but doesn’t start a conversation with another user within their first 24 hours, does that new user receive a personalized welcome message directly from a community veteran? No? Well, they do on PeopleGrove.
Customizable Templates
They’ve worked up the courage to reach out. Now, what to say? Provide them with not just one, but up to three tailored templates to take the guesswork out of authoring.
Pro Tips
For both old and young, experienced and otherwise, taboos can often be our undoing. With PeopleGrove’s text-triggered tips, your learners will ask good questions, present themselves professionally, keep messages to an appropriate length, and even better, reach networking success.
Project-based Learning
"Tell me, and I will forget. Show me, and I may remember. Involve me, and I will understand forever."
PeopleGrove Projects enables real-world understanding and mentored learning that lasts a lifetime. In addition to driving learner engagement, it catalyzes career-skill development and increases alumni affinity.
- Real-world, short-term work projects sourced directly from your community

Enjoyed on the Go, on the App
Your PeopleGrove mobile app is included at no extra charge: it's your logo, your configurations, your community. It works on every operating system. And its ready for showtime on day one.

Enhancements That Users Love
Grow your grove beyond the basics by adding in one or more of our premium add-ons. Groves grow stronger in masses.
Events Simplified
Why send your learners to event tools that sit off in a silo? Manage your event listings, registrations, payments, and even check-in tracking right here, in PeopleGrove.
- Simplified event registration, even for those who are not yet fully signed-up
- Optional virtual event integrations with Zoom and Brazen
Pathways to Success
Integrated, inclusive, and instantaneous, Pathways provides you with an unlimited number of fully tailorable developmental experiences, which you can set to dynamically deploy to your learners as and when they qualify.
- Create pathways for training, orientation, and certification
- Customize branded badges awarded to learners upon pathway completion
- Leverage instantaneous progress tracking tools to intervene with those who need support
Support Tools for Groups
Organize the natural affinities that already exist within your community, and provide them with the tools they need to support one another, including a dedicated discussion forum and resources page.
- Provide academic units (colleges, departments, majors) a corner kingdom of their own, complete with bulk email and analytics capabilities
- Manage alumni association or other membership status-tracking, including accepting dues payments through Stripe
Job Intros
Open up the hidden job market. Enable your learners to help each other by sharing job referrals and vacancy announcements that they’re aware of, perhaps before they’re even shared publicly.
- Expressions of interest in job referrals serve as an impetus for effective networking
- For vacancies available already online, our Indeed integration pulls in descriptions and qualification data, simplifying the process significantly
Programs
Have a hand in what happens. Programs enable admins to manage long-term, structured mentorships that occur over a set period of time, to accomplish a predetermined series of goals.
- Program-specific registration questions for optimal bulk matching
- Automated email reminders ensure milestones are reached, at scale
- Progress tracking is centralized—goodbye spreadsheets!
