Invite Community Engagement to Your Event!

Delivering Resources to Your Community

Having a neighborhood cookout? Celebrating your community with a special event? Don't forget to invite us.

Spring is here and it's a great time to be out in the community. Whether your event is inside or outside, you can request the engagement van by filling out our request form. A staff member will follow up to confirm the reservation and review details. Requests must be submitted at least two weeks in advance and no more than 90 days before the requested date. Please allow three to four business days after submitting the form for staff to confirm your request.

When we come to your event, we bring invaluable City resources. Residents will have the opportunity to:

  • Learn about projects impacting your community;
  • Sign up for activities and classes, including our FREE English Language programs;
  • Get assistance navigating our website and services; and,
  • And much more!

We also visit areas around Raleigh each month. Check out the calendar below to find us near you!
