After an overwhelmingly positive response to the first-ever Connecting to Palm Coast Expo in January, the Palm Coast Citizens Academy Alumni Ambassadors are proud to host the event once again—this time on Wednesday, May 7, 2025, from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. at the Palm Coast Community Center (305 Palm Coast Parkway NE).
The inaugural event welcomed hundreds of new residents and sparked inspiring success stories—including two attendees who signed up to become substitute teachers after connecting with Flagler Schools at the expo. The enthusiastic turnout and community engagement made it clear: this event is making a meaningful difference.
The Connecting to Palm Coast Expo is designed to help new and recently settled residents feel right at home. The event features booths from City departments, local civic organizations and clubs, and social service providers—all ready to share resources and opportunities that make living in Palm Coast even more rewarding.
“This event is a great example of how our Citizens Academy Alumni Ambassadors continue to give back to their community,” said Brittany Kershaw, Director of Communications & Marketing for the City of Palm Coast. “Their dedication, passion, and volunteer spirit are what make this event possible—and so impactful. I’m so grateful for their efforts in helping new residents feel welcomed and connected.”
Event Highlights:
- Informational booths from Palm Coast City departments
- Insights from local civic organizations and community clubs
