What we’re about
Welcome to the Ocean State Organizer Network!
We are so glad you are here. This group is a hub for enthusiastic organizers from across the Ocean State—folks who believe in the power of real-world connection and want to build vibrant communities that reflect the heart and soul of Rhode Island.
As a member of this network, we hope you will gain the tools and inspiration to:
- Create your own Meetup group that feels like family—reaching across all five Rhode Island counties, from the wilderness of Foster-Glocester, to the bustling streets of Providence, the beaches of Narragansett and Westerly and on to the calm shores of Block Island, and let’s not forget the great places along our borders with northern Connecticut and southern Massachusetts.
- Host meaningful events where people gather like quahogs at a clam bake—bringing joy, warmth, and that unmistakable Little Rhody charm.
- Connect with fellow organizers who understand the spirit of “Hope,” the enduring motto that anchors our state seal and the work we do together.
Whether you are planning a scenic hike along the Blackstone Valley Greenway, a meet-and-greet near the iconic Big Blue Bug, or a networking night in the shadow of The Newport Bridge, this group can be your anchor and your sail.
We are powered by volunteers who believe in stronger human connections and who know Rhode Island’s rich tapestry of cultures, neighborhoods, and traditions is the perfect launchpad for impactful gatherings.
Together, we will elevate the way we gather, one Meetup at a time.
Anchored in connection. Driven by “Hope”. Fueled by coffee milk, stuffies & all the calamari you can eat. Welcome aboard.
