Join us this Saturday, May 2 at the Central Library in Charlottesville for the 8th Annual How-To Festival!

Stop by to learn about how we get news tips from community members and how to submit your own story ideas, plus get to know how to use our resource guides. (And sign up for our free newsletter to get a forthcoming guide on how to talk to  Charlottesville Tomorrow’s local journalists.)

We’ll be answering your questions about how to find housing support using our Housing Resource Guide, which helps advocates and community members navigate local housing needs and services. The Charlottesville Tomorrow team will also do a demo on how to use our 2026 Voter Guide, including how to submit questions to your local candidates. 

Other activities will include crafting, cooking — and befriending the llamas from Lower Sherwood Farm!

Whether you’re looking for resources, want to get involved or just have questions, we’re here to connect.

My job is to understand your news needs and bring your ideas to our reporters. I also share Charlottesville Tomorrow's successes and learnings with donors, partners and our colleagues in the news industry. Let's find a time to talk.

I work on community events at Charlottesville Tomorrow because I am rooted in the belief that powerful storytelling and collaborative spaces are key to creating lasting change.
