Calendar of Events

Looking for ways to connect, learn, and build community? Bridging Communities hosts free events that promote inclusion, belonging, and access to information. Some opportunities are created specifically for families, while others are open to professionals and the broader community. We work closely with our partners to make sure each event is welcoming. Registration is typically required so we can plan for space, snacks, and support. We look forward to seeing you.
