🌿 We’re Looking for Group Admins Across New Zealand 🌿

The Neurodivergent Village is growing and we’re looking for passionate people from all across Aotearoa to help us build supportive local communities both online and eventually in person. 💛

Our vision is bigger than just a Facebook group.
We want to create safe spaces where neurodivergent individuals, parents, whānau, advocates, and supporters can connect, feel understood, make friendships, and build genuine community connections.
The long-term dream?
✨ Local meet ups
✨ Support networks
✨ Community events
✨ Safe social spaces
✨ Real-life connections and village support

Right now, we’re looking for admins and moderators from different areas of New Zealand who:
• Are friendly and welcoming
• Have life experience and empathy
• Are good with people
• Have ideas and initiative
• Want to help others feel less alone
• Believe in building supportive communities
• Are passionate about neurodiversity, mental health, inclusion, or advocacy.

You do not need to be “perfect.”
You just need to care about people and want to help create something meaningful. 🌱

Whether you’re a parent, neurodivergent yourself, an advocate, support worker, educator, or simply someone who understands the importance of community we’d love to hear from you.
Together, we can create villages where people feel accepted, supported, and connected. 🫶

If this sounds like something you’d love to be part of, comment below or send us a message telling us:

📍 Where you’re from
💭 Why you’d like to help
🌿 What you’d love to bring to the community

Let’s build something beautiful together, New Zealand. 🇳🇿💛
