Raleigh Engagement Network

The Raleigh Engagement Network is designed for community groups not tied to a specific location. This includes groups that were formed around similar interests, values, cultures, and social ties. The goal of the network is to expand knowledge of city services and opportunities to participate in the greater Raleigh community. 

Residents can view the public dashboard to find like-minded groups across Raleigh.
