Wrentham Engagement
Welcome
Welcome to Wrentham Engagement (WE).
WE is a local, grass-roots, non-partisan effort to encourage greater awareness and engagement in the events and decisions that shape our town’s governance and future.
The mission is to initiate, coordinate, and facilitate opportunities that foster and energize greater civic participation.
​
WE will do this by conducting forums, providing opportunities for citizens to engage, conducting outreach for volunteerism, and helping to fill communication gaps.
​
Together, WE can build a stronger, more informed, and connected Wrentham through the power of civic engagement.
