Town Halls
What is a Town Hall
Built for Zero Town Halls are interactive, community-centered calls where local teams share what’s working, unpack what’s changing, and learn alongside peers across the network. Each session is facilitated by the Built for Zero team and often features guest partners who bring practical tools, policy context, and real-world examples.
You can expect a mix of short framing remarks, peer learning, breakout discussions, and time for questions. If you can’t join live, recordings are posted here so you can watch on your schedule and bring ideas back to your team.
