About the Series

Muskegon: A Community Conversation is a collaborative initiative designed to spark meaningful dialogue, foster mutual understanding, and strengthen the fabric of our community—one conversation at a time.

This nine-event series, hosted across Muskegon County, offers safe, inclusive spaces for neighbors to come together, listen, share, and grow through open dialogue. Each set of conversations will focus on a unique theme aimed at helping individuals connect more deeply—with each other, and with the issues that shape our daily lives.

Beyond Polarization: Making Conversations Possible 

The first set, Beyond Polarization: Making Conversations Possible, explores how we can have better conversations across differences—not by debating or persuading but by listening, reflecting, and speaking with empathy.

Rooted in curiosity and respect, each event is free and open to all. Whether joining us to strengthen your communication skills, reconnect with others, or simply be heard, we welcome you to the table.

Let's build a stronger Muskegon through conversation.
