Knowledge Hub · Where should a newcomer begin?
A newcomer should move from asking for help, to understanding the story layer, and only then toward more sensitive surfaces such as volunteering or adoption.
The Help Center should often be the first stop.
The stories layer creates context, not operations on its own.
Volunteer and adoption surfaces run review-first.
1. Pick the right entry point
If someone only needs guidance or wants to open a first request, /help should usually come before any operational surface.
2. Build context first
Stories and public-facing pages explain why the neighborhood model exists and what kinds of contribution are actually useful.
3. Understand review-first design
Volunteer, adoption, business, and some help flows are not instant self-service. That product decision protects both animals and real-world coordination.
Next step
Keep moving through the ecosystem.
Each public page is written as part of a larger care story. This keeps the site coherent even before the full platform layers open.
