Throughout the year, Welcome & Connect Service will host a series of free, interactive sessions called “Engage.” Engage meets once a week over a series of five weeks. During our time together you will be introduced to Ottumwa in an in-depth, fun, and beneficial way. You will find out how to connect with the attributes and amenities that are important to you and your family.
Sessions topics include:
History • Recreation • Arts • Culture and more!

Engage is available to all newcomers who have relocated here within the last five years. Class sizes are limited to 25 participants. Engage is offered on a first-come, first-served basis.
Engage is generally offered twice a year.  We are planning to have our next session start May 15th, 2024.  It will meet every Wednesday evening through June 12th.  Please register to hold your spot!  Sessions go from 6:00 pm – 8:00 pm and do include a dinner.  Click on the button below to sign up!
