Your first visit
Feeling unsure the first time is normal. Most groups are glad when someone new walks in.
First step: Join the group's mailing list (the sign-up link on columbussquare.org) to hear about the next cleanup, movie night or public meeting..
You can just show up.
What to expect
Cleanups, movie nights and public meetings are open to visitors, and the site invites new people to join. Dates are not posted on the site, so the mailing list or social media is where to check. The site does not say how long a cleanup runs or what to bring.
Tips for your first visit
- Sign up for the mailing list first, since the website does not post dates.
- Email friends@columbussquare.org before you come if you want to know what to bring.
Newcomer welcome
Welcoming to newcomers (4 out of 5). Why we say this: The calendar page says visitors are welcome at public meetings and volunteer events, and the mailing list is the clear way to hear about them. The site does not describe what a first cleanup involves..
