Life in Northwest Arkansas has so much to offer, but we all face challenges, and it’s easy to feel disconnected and isolated at times. We believe we can change that.
Weaving NWA is dedicated to building a stronger, more connected community where people genuinely care for one another and everyone feels a sense of belonging. This is our home, and together, we can create spaces for open conversations, shared stories, and meaningful connections.
Join us as we bring people together, share experiences, and help weave a vibrant, welcoming community. Let’s make NWA a place where everyone truly feels at home.
Upcoming gatherings
Weave the People
Our biggest event of the year, Weave the People, will happen on Saturday, May 17th. It’s a community celebration for folks to share resources, learn from each other, and “hack” together our community issues. There’ll be free food and music. We’ll also introduce the 2025 NWA Weaver Awards, an initiative putting $100,000 directly into the hands of 20 community builders across Benton and Washington County this spring!
Weaving NWA Training: Active Listening
Join us on Friday, May 16th, for a workshop called “Learn to Listen Like a Pro: Part II” where we’ll explore the key components of active listening, enhancing communication skills, and fostering a collaborative environment. Through a mix of icebreakers, structured activities, and reflective discussions, participants will learn to strengthen their ability to listen actively, respond meaningfully, and build stronger connections in both personal and professional settings. It happens May 16th from 10am-1pm at the Fayetteville Public Library. Lunch will be provided.
Host your own Coffee + Conversations
Join us for Coffee and Conversation 101 on Thursday, May 15th, where we’ll provide you with a guide and support to host one in your community. If you haven’t attended one before, they are informal gatherings to connect and build deeper relationships over coffee. It happens Thursday, May 15th 10:00am- 11:30am at Hail Fellow Well Met in Springdale.
Weaver Awards Information Sessions
If you can’t join us for the Weave the People, we’ll also have two other information sessions for the Weaver Awards. They happen Friday 16 at the Fayetteville Public Library from 1:30- 2:30pm and Tuesday, May 20th at Siloam Springs Public Library from 11:30- 1:00pm.
