Become a Co-Worker!

Our facility includes co-working space and meeting rooms, as well as indoor and outdoor environments for community events. We’re always seeking co-workers who are neighborhood-focused and have a developed sense of social purpose. We provide an inclusive and supportive environment for new ideas, human connection, and success. Co-working members support the neighborhood hospitality and educational programming of Community Happens Here.

Become A Co-Worker

We believe connection starts at the sidewalk, that business can start with a dollar, and that community starts here, with each other.

We are your home for conversation, connection, coworking and professional growth. We host free events that help neighbors build relationships and offer entrepreneurship programs to build a stronger, more resilient community.
