Weaving NWA

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

Weaver Awards info session

Starting April 2025, we’ll open applications for the NWA Weaver Awards. The Weaver Awards recognize 20 people from Benton and Washington counties who are leading efforts in their community to address local needs with $5,000 grants. The Awards recognize the people who are weaving their communities together through shared service, and whose projects foster connection and inspire trust by building relationships between neighbors.

We’ll be hosting two info sessions in March where our team will be answering all your questions, give you examples on successful Awardees, and provide tips on how to improve your application:

March 24^th – 12:00 pm to 1:30 pm at the Bentonville Library, Haney Conference Room. RSVP here.

March 27^th – 12:30 to 2:00 pm at the Fayetteville Library, Ziegler Conference Room. RSVP here.

Weaving NWA Training: Navigating Community Work without Losing Yourself

Join us for a much-needed training on the challenges of balancing the demands and stressors of community work. In this training, community builders will explore the critical issue of stress, burnout and compassion fatigue. With a focus on self-compassion, stress reduction, and mindfulness, we will examine practices focused on how to care for others without sacrificing your own mental and emotional health.
This in-person event will provide valuable insights and strategies to help you thrive in your community work. Lunch will be provided. Space is limited. Don’t miss out!
