OPEN COALITION MEETINGS

We hold Open Coalition Meetings throughout the year to keep the community informed on Scituate FACTS initiatives. These meetings are the best way to stay current on new statistics, share ideas, and learn about upcoming projects, events, and volunteer opportunities.

Our next coalition meeting is Wednesday, February 12, 2025, 3:00-4:00pm at the SHS Library.

The slide deck from our February 8th, 2024 meeting can be viewed here.
