Raleigh Engagement Network

The Engagement Network is designed for community groups not tied to a specific location. This includes groups formed around shared interests, values, cultures, and social ties. Eligible civic-based groups must be committed to fostering active methods of engagement, encouraging collaboration, and strengthening partnerships between residents and the City. Our goal is to expand knowledge of City services while creating meaningful opportunities for residents to participate in the greater Raleigh community.
