Plymouth's Recruiting Volunteers Who Actually Want to Shape City Decisions

If you've ever had strong opinions about parks, housing, or environmental policy and thought "someone should do something about that," congratulations – you can be that someone.

Plymouth's accepting applications through Friday, Nov. 14 for residents interested in serving on various committees, boards, and commissions that directly advise City Council. We're talking real influence on topics like environment, housing, parks and recreation, and community planning/development. These aren't ceremonial positions where you nod politely at meetings – these groups actually shape policy decisions that affect daily life in Plymouth.

Current openings include the Environmental Quality Committee, Housing and Redevelopment Authority, Parks and Recreation Advisory Commission, and Planning Commission. You can check which specific ward seats are expiring by opening the member roster tab on each individual committee page. The city's also seeking business community representatives for the Destination Marketing Organization Advisory Board, so if you run a local business and have thoughts about how Plymouth markets itself, here's your shot.

City Council will review applications and make appointments in late 2025 for terms starting in 2026. Translation: you'd be part of the actual decision-making process for next year's initiatives, not just reacting to what's already been decided.

Download applications and get details at plymouthmn.gov/commissions. Applications due Nov. 14 – because civic engagement beats complaining from the sidelines.

Revolution Chiropractic's Pre-Holiday Wellness Night: Where Self-Care Meets DIY Gifts

Before the holiday chaos hits full force, someone's offering an actual pause button with wine, massages, and the kind of self-care stations that belong on Pinterest boards.

Revolution Chiropractic Wellness Center is hosting "Sip, Soothe & Savor the Season" on Friday, Nov. 7 from 5-8 p.m., and it's designed for anyone who needs a breather before Thanksgiving madness begins. Think open house style – come when you can, stay as long as you want, leave with a reusable tote full of samples and promotions. Plus you get to make things while other people pamper you, which is basically the dream.

The sipping part: seasonal holiday drinks, organic wine, and a DIY loose leaf tea station where you can create custom blends perfect for holiday gifting (or keeping for yourself, no judgment). The soothing part: chair massages from their massage therapists, red light therapy sessions, plus DIY essential oil and bath salt stations. The savoring part: festive appetizers and desserts, a gratitude experience, and access to a private prayer team if you want that kind of support.

There's also the saving part – special supplement deals and early Black Friday access exclusively for attendees. So you're simultaneously relaxing and getting a head start on holiday shopping. Efficient wellness.

Open house format means no pressure to arrive exactly at 5 or stay the full three hours. Just show up, fill your cup (literally and metaphorically), and maybe bring a few friends who also need permission to slow down.

Register at revolutionwellnesscenter.ticketspice.com. Nov. 7, 5-8 p.m. at Revolution Chiropractic Wellness Center.

Plymouth Entrepreneurs: Free Two-Day Business Bootcamp Coming Dec. 6-7

If you've got a business idea rattling around in your head and no clue how to actually launch it, Hennepin County's about to give you a crash course.

CEO Start Bootcamp hits Plymouth Dec. 6-7 for a free, intensive two-day training designed to take your half-formed business concept and turn it into something real. This isn't passive learning – it's bootcamp-style, which means you'll be challenged, questioned, and pushed to actually flesh out your business model, craft messaging, build a financial model, and set concrete launch goals. All while surrounded by a network of peers who are equally terrified and excited, plus expert facilitators who actually know what they're doing.

The program uses CO.STARTERS curriculum, a nationally recognized community-based approach to business development. Facilitators are local business experts trained to deliver the program and connect you to Plymouth-area resources. So you're not just learning theory – you're getting plugged into the actual local ecosystem that can help your business succeed.

To qualify, you need to be 18+, live in Hennepin County, have a business idea or early-stage business, and be willing to question and refine your concept (plus share it with others, so no "I'll tell you but then I'd have to kill you" energy). You also need to commit to the full two days because this only works if everyone shows up and engages.

Space is capped at 20 participants, and registration opened Oct. 17, so if you're serious about finally doing something with that business idea, move fast.

Free program, limited spots, real business development.

Plymouth's Environmental Fair: Where Climate Action Meets Terrarium Building

Someone finally figured out how to make climate action feel less like homework and more like a craft fair you'd actually attend.

Plymouth's hosting a free Environmental Fair on Saturday, Nov. 8 from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the Plymouth Community Center (14800 34th Ave. N), and it's designed to officially kick off the city's Climate Action and Resiliency Plan while keeping things hands-on and family-friendly. We're talking build-your-own terrariums, paint-your-own reusable tote bags, create bug or bee hotels, write postcards to policymakers, and weigh in on interactive polling and opinion boards. It's environmental activism meets DIY crafts, which is honestly the best way to engage people who tune out during serious policy discussions.

This works for everyone – if you're already deep in the climate action world, you'll find substance. If you're just starting to care about sustainability, you'll find accessible entry points that don't require a PhD in environmental science. And if you're a parent who needs to entertain kids while feeling like you're doing something productive, terrarium building checks both boxes.

The whole event is free and open to all ages, because climate action shouldn't have barriers to entry. Plus you leave with actual things you made – a terrarium, a custom tote bag, a bee hotel – rather than just pamphlets you'll recycle later (ironically).

Five hours of activities, zero cost, tangible takeaways. Plymouth's making environmentalism participatory instead of preachy.

Nov. 8, 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. at Plymouth Community Center. Learn more about the Climate Action Plan at plymouthmn.gov/climateplan.
