Your first real gig. On your block.
Build a hang around what you're already great at — varsity drills, debate prep, AI & coding club, garage-band jams, driveway robotics, a Saturday park crew. You set the schedule. You set the price. Parents on your block pay you directly. It's your show.
Why we're doing this
Local kids have real talents and real passions. Block Hangs is your stage to model, use, and share them with the younger kids on your block — and inspire the next round of kids to do the same. The most important part of the gig isn't the activity, it's you.
What you could make
Projected earnings
$2,400
At 8 kids, 5 days, that's $2,400 for the week.
Learn the Host Code
Six principles every host learns before their first hang. It's what separates a host from a babysitter — and what earns a parent's trust. Run it like a pro.
- · Look out for each other
- · Take real risks, stay safe
- · Phones away, presence on
- · Respect what each kid is into
- · You set the vibe — keep it positive
- · Get every kid's number, earn every parent's trust
Apply — make your host profile
A few sentences about you. We'll write your bio so parents on the block know who you are.
Set your schedule & describe your hang
Totally flexible — after-school, weekends, full summer weeks, one-offs. Pick what you can actually offer. Then set the location, the price, the plan, and the vibe. It's your show.
See who's signed up & get ready for fun
Once families RSVP, you'll see the roster and parent contacts. Show up ready to go.
A few ground rules
- • You're the host of the group — setting the vibe and keeping things moving. If something goes sideways, loop in a parent.
- • Not a licensed camp — something better. No insurance, no background checks. Parents know that. The Host Code is what they're trusting.
- • Be on time, be reachable, and have fun. The block is rooting for you.
