Find Your People, Find Your Place

Introducing NWA is organized by Engage NWA, a group focused on bringing diverse people, organizations, and communities together to build a more inclusive Northwest Arkansas.

You’ll have the chance to browse a community partner meet-and-greet featuring local organizations across different areas of NWA life. Ask questions, pick up information, and figure out where you want to get involved. You’ll also hear from recent arrivals sharing what helped them find their footing here, firsthand.

Come as You Are

The format is drop-in, so arrive when it works for you and stay as long as you’d like.

Complimentary light snacks are provided, and a cash bar is available. There’s a dedicated activity area for kids, so bring the family.
