Community Engagement

Building Stronger Connections Across Fort Worth

In the Community Engagement Office, we are here to connect you to your City. As part of the Communications and Public Engagement department, our team serves all Fort Worth residents; meeting you where you live, work, and play. Whether we're attending neighborhood meetings, supporting public events, or hosting educational sessions in schools, we strive to foster open communication and ensure your voice is heard.

We’re committed to being your bridge to the City of Fort Worth, providing you with the latest information about city initiatives, programs, public meetings, zoning updates, and more. By staying connected, you can engage with your community, share feedback, and help shape the future of Fort Worth.

If you’re part of a neighborhood group, civic organization, faith-based community, or multi-family property, make sure to register with us. This way, you’ll have front-row access to important City updates, surveys, and opportunities to stay engaged.
