What Are
Meet & Greets Like?
Location
Your choice! You can host in your home, in your front or back yard, or even at a local park, library, or at a coffee house, brewery, etc. We can even meet virtually.
Activities
As simple as people gather and ask questions. Or you can invite me to an existing gathering (such as a book club).
Or include a community aspect such as a:
Food bank drive
Book, craft project, or recipe swap
S’mores and/or yard games
Timing
30-90 minutes, depending on the event.
Invite list
This is your most important role as host! Bring together friends, neighbors, and others interested in our public schools.
Not sure which School District you live in?
You can look it up here: https://boardfinder.mpls.k12.mn.us/
Note: Guests are not required to live in District 5.
We’re building a pro-public school movement, so an interest in the health of our MPLS public schools is all we need.
Meet & Greet FAQs
-
No, not unless you want to! The goal of the Meet & Greet is to engage voters.

Absolutely! Molly for Minneapolis will be with you every step of the way. Also, it can be fun to ask others to co-host with you.

In coordination with Molly, set a date and time.
For in-person, allow up to 1 ½ hours. For virtual: under an hour.
Meet & Greets can be scheduled for whatever time is most convenient. Such as after school on a weekday, playground on a weekend morning, virtual after kids’ bedtimes, or anytime that works well for you and your guests.
Set a location, such as:
Your home, whether in your living room or front yard.
Park space or room reservation via a Library or Parks & Rec.
Another favorite space with plenty of room, such as a coffee house, park, or brewery.
Invite people and confirm with guests 1-3 days before the Meet & Greet.
Then let Molly know approximately how many people to expect. Confirm any materials (flyers, info sheets, marshmallows for s’mores, etc.) that you’d like the campaign to provide.
