Parenting community · Minneapolis
Real talk without the comment section.
Rooted Parents Guild is a membership community for Minneapolis caregivers who want moderated discussions, expert workshops and neighborhood meetups without algorithmic outrage. Hosts enforce a kindness charter, threads are searchable by age band and local resource maps are updated by members with librarian review — not random Google doc links. New members get a printed neighborhood map, a moderated intro thread and a calendar of stroller-friendly meetups.

Membership FAQ
Is this only for moms?
No — caregivers of any gender welcome; pronouns on nametags at meetups.
Can I lurk silently?
Yes for two weeks; posting requires membership to protect privacy.
Do you sell data?
Never; we fund the guild through dues and local sponsor grants disclosed monthly.
How are workshops chosen?
Members vote quarterly on topics; we book licensed clinicians and pay them fairly instead of asking for unpaid Instagram lives.
