Weaving NWA June Events

Weaving NWA is excited to announce that we’re combining the community spirit of the Monthly gathering with the energy and entertainment of the Weave the People event! This one is all about finding your people, trying something new, and building new and unique spaces for belonging.

You’ll have two ways to party with us:

🤝 JOIN IT!
At our Join It session: Hear quick pitches from local clubs, gatherings, and community opportunities you can join RIGHT NOW — places to meet people, learn new skills, and get connected.

🛠️ BUILD IT!
At our Build It session: Have an idea for a club, gathering, or new way to bring people together? Learn how to become a Builder and hear about the Weaving NWA Launchpad, offering $400 to 10 new clubs/gatherings using the methods created by our friends over at BUILD IRL. It’s an easy and fun way to create welcoming spaces across NWA.

Come hungry. Come curious. Come ready to jump into something new – or build the community you’ve always wanted. 🔥

Start your own Coffee & Conversations

Many people in our community feel lonely and disconnected. We can change that. We started the Coffee & Conversations to create spaces across NWA where folks can come together, have conversations, and bond over a coffee or tea. We are now opening it to neighbors and community leaders to host their own and create spaces where trust can be formed and social connection can be renewed. If you are interested in starting one, we’ll provide you with some conversations guides, a structured format to get you started, and some funds to buy the first round of coffee and tea.

Congratulations to the 2025 NWA Weaver Awardees!

Who are the 2025 Awardees and what are their projects?

The Weaver Awards recognize folks who are building social trust by bringing neighbors together to tackle a shared problem where they live. Each Awardee will receive $5,000, for a total of $100,000, to support their grassroots work strengthening relationships and weaving stronger communities across Northwest Arkansas.

The Weaver Awards are part of a national movement to recognize, support, and uplift local trust builders who are weaving a stronger social fabric across the country. The initiative is led nationally by Weave: The Social Fabric Project and locally through Weaving NWA, which is shaped by the voices and needs of the Northwest Arkansas community.

The 2025 NWA Weaver Awardees represent a wide range of neighbors. Some are fostering connection over meals and storytelling, others use art, nature, or shared tradition. While each project looks different, all share the same belief: when folks show up for one another, build relationships, and work to solve shared issues, they strengthen the social fabric of their community. The Awardees serve different communities across Benton and Washington counties, from Farmington to Fayetteville.
