Here’s what our Onboard Fort Wayne program offers:
Welcome events
Experience Hoosier hospitality firsthand!
Get connected and acclimated to your new surroundings at an in-person event. You’ll meet fellow newcomers, get a “welcome home” from local leaders, and learn how to get plugged into the community. You can get involved right away, or ease your way in–whatever fits your style.
One-on-one attention
You’ve got questions: Where can I find the best burger in town? Which festivals should I check out? Who can I trust for childcare?
Our Navigators have answers. They’re proud ambassadors, guiding you on a one-on-one basis as you settle in. We’ll pair you with someone who has similar interests to yours, so you know you’re getting expert advice.
Online resources
You’ve found the place to browse local favorites and learn about the community.
From arts and culture to health care, all the companies and organizations listed here are members of Greater Fort Wayne Inc., so you know they’re invested in Fort Wayne / Allen County and residents like you.
