Scavenger Hunt

Need ideas to help you dive into community participation? We all benefit when more residents connect with their neighbors and get involved in City efforts. Cedar Rapids offers many ways to get involved and make an impact in our community. You are welcome to join us!

Involvement can look as simple as becoming more familiar with our community’s hidden gems — inspiring pride in Cedar Rapids. It can also look like participating in public events and input opportunities. Check off some activities on this citywide scavenger hunt as you explore different ways to participate in building community. Together, we can create a stronger, more inclusive city.
