No central control.
Anyone can create a group, add people or leave, and the alumni network has no say.
Your own alumni app, for every graduate, in every city.
Troop Community gives universities, schools and alumni associations their own app to keep graduates connected. Alumni find each other, join city and batch chapters, attend reunions and live events, mentor students and stay close to the institution, with records kept under your control.

- Chapters and Reunions

What Is an Alumni App?
An alumni app is a branded app that an institution uses to keep graduates connected with each other and with the institution, through a verified directory, chapters, events, mentoring and giving.
Troop Community gives universities, schools and alumni associations that app under their own name, verified against their alumni records, hosted or on their own servers.

Why Alumni Networks Outgrow Chat Groups
Groups turn into noise.
Official updates disappear under forwards, jokes and off-topic posts.
Group limits get in the way.
Consumer apps cap group sizes and broadcasts, so reaching every member means dozens of copies.
No data, no ownership.
The institution cannot see who is engaged, and alumni contact data sits in hundreds of separate groups.
