Our Community Programs
Lift Truckee’s evolving community and educational programming includes events open to all - learning lunches, wellness workshops, climate hub gatherings, entrepreneurial groups, film screenings, and art showcases. Please visit Events for a full list of current and upcoming events.
Learning Lunches
At least once a month, we host a Learning Lunch they range across a variety of topics from health and wellness, to finance, AI, building relationship skills, and more.
Sometimes we run a series on a particular topic for a few months to build upon a subject matter over time.
Truckee Climate Hub hosts guest speakers, panels, and other events featuring climate related businesses and topics from renewable energy and wildfire to AI solutions and more. It's a great way to meet like-minded professionals working in energy, renewables, and climate.
This meet-up is part of Lift Truckee's investment into social enterprises and building a vibrant and sustainable planet.
Each month, local entrepreneurs, small businesses, and non-profit owners gather and connect in a peer-to-peer mentoring series, held in partnership with local co-working spaces and businesses.
Attendees have a turn to discuss their most pressing or top of mind business issue and get input and advice from others in their group.
