Attend Community Events

To get to know your neighbors and others in your community, attend community events. We don't only mean political events like town and school board meetings, but also community dinners, art shows, plays and school events!

• Attend town/city council meetings.
  • Go to your city/town's website or call your local town/city hall to find out when and where your town meetings are.
    • Citizen's Guide to a Town Meeting
• Go to school board meetings.
  • Go to your school’s website or the school to find out when and where your school board meetings are.
• Enjoy community dinners or suppers like potlucks at local churches!
• Attend school events like a football game, a tennis match, a play, or a student art show!
• Check out local community event calendars that include art shows, music and theater performances, lectures, discussions, festivals and fairs!
  • Look in your local newspapers and on bulletin boards around town to find events going on near you!
