Questions and Answers

Who participates in Medford Conversations?

We welcome everyone who has ever lived, worked, prayed, or played in Medford to join us in conversations about the challenges facing our communities.

Is Medford Conversations affiliated with any political or religious institution?

While we welcome political and religious institutions to join us as members of our network, the project itself remains an independent entity. ​

What does it cost to participate?

All of our events are offered to the public free of charge, but due to limited capacity we require everyone to pre-register. We rely on generous donations from community members and organizations.

Does Medford Conversations need volunteers?

Absolutely! We need day-of volunteers, multi-week circle facilitators, and longer term committee members. Please email [email protected]  or call 781-957-1070 to get involved.  ​
