Students feel cared for when you remember the details in their lives.

Care Updates

Trust is built between Wednesday nights

Discipleship doesn’t only happen at youth group. Updates let you and your small group leaders capture the conversations and moments where trust is built: a coffee stop, a game, a hard week at school. Over time, every student has a story your team can see and build on.

The Pulse

Consistency says "I care about you"

The Pulse is a visual indicator that tells leaders it is time to check in. You set the timeframe, and a red marker appears next to any student who hasn’t had a check-in within it. No student sits unnoticed for months.

Milestones

Birthdays are the easiest way to make a student feel seen

Birthdays show up in the milestones feed, and leaders get a heads-up in their Early Bird Report. Want to celebrate baptisms, graduations, or other big moments? Create custom milestones that fit your ministry.

Notebird for student ministries: common questions

Will busy volunteer leaders actually use it?

That is what Notebird is built for. An update is two sentences on a phone, right after youth group. Leaders add Notebird to their home screen, with nothing to download, and there is no complicated tool to learn.

Can leaders see only their own small group?

Yes. Organize students into groups and give each leader access to only their group. Leaders stay focused on their students, and sensitive notes can be restricted further.

How do leaders know when to check in with a student?

The Pulse indicator shows a red marker next to a student who has not had a check-in within the timeframe you set. Leaders see at a glance who needs attention next.

Can we track the kinds of interactions that matter to our ministry?

Yes. Create custom update types like one-on-ones, camp conversations, or family check-ins, and Notebird counts and reports on them for you.

Can you import our student list?

Yes, for free. Send us your existing list or use our spreadsheet template, and we will import your students, even directly into their small groups.

Is there a discount for student ministries?

We offer a Student Ministry Scholarship. Chat with our team from any page and we will share the current details. Every Notebird plan includes every feature, with a 14-day free trial and no credit card.
