Trivia at Station 2
Station 2, 2016 East Main St., Richmond, VA, USJoin us for trivia night at Station 2 where good questions, good food, and new friendships all come together. Whether you are a trivia regular or just here for the vibes, this night is all about having fun and meeting people in a low-pressure, social setting.
Station 2 brings the goods when it comes to food and drinks. Think craveable bar favorites, hearty handhelds, and plenty of options to snack on between rounds. Pair that with their rotating beers, classic cocktails, and cozy neighborhood atmosphere and you have the perfect backdrop for a fun night out.
Come solo or bring a friend. We will help make teams so it is easy to meet new people, laugh over wrong answers, and celebrate the surprisingly correct ones. Expect playful competition, lots of conversation, and that “I came for trivia and left with new friends” kind of energy.
Grab a drink, claim a seat, and let’s make trivia night your new favorite way to spend an evening.

Volunteer at Sankofa Community Orchard
Sankofa Community Orchard, 309 Covington Rd, Richmond, VA, USJoin us for a hands-on volunteer day at Sankofa Community Orchard, a five-acre food justice and climate resiliency demonstration space. This orchard is dedicated to promoting holistic health, wellness, and social change through community food growing and sustainable land practices.
We will help with planting vegetables, trees, and fruiting shrubs. As the space continues to grow, you may also help establish new garden beds, tend to the pollinator garden, weed and replant perennial flowers, or support seasonal projects like compost bin building, trellis systems, and installing low tunnels or greenhouses to extend the growing season.
No experience is necessary. This is a great opportunity to get outside, learn about sustainable food systems, support food justice efforts, and contribute to a meaningful community project. Just bring comfortable clothes you do not mind getting dirty and a willingness to help.
This Volunteer Event is Free and Open to Everyone! Both members and non-members are welcome to join. Space is limited, so please claim your free ticket through the Trying to Adult RVA website to secure your spot. RSVPing elsewhere does not guarantee your place.
