We will certainly have some volunteering opportunities. Please contact Dina Mack, our Director of Operations for more info, or come visit us on weekdays. If you're interested in helping out even more, please contact our sister organization, Page15.

Can I rent some space for a meeting, even if I'm not a member?

Yes. We have a rate sheet and a rental contract. We have a few possibilities for room rentals, and some equipment available for an extra fee. We have a partnership with The Spork  to handle our on-site catering needs. Please use our event booking form to contact us about room rentals. (PDF)

How did you come up with the name?

Before Urban ReThink, our space housed the Urban Think! Bookstore. It was a flagship of culture and community in Thornton Park. When the owners decided to close the bookstore, the Urban Think! Foundation rallied a team of creative thinkers to put together the space as we know it today. A vote was cast among the former Bookstore customers, as well as some new friends. In the end, the voting and the planning committee brought us to Urban ReThink, a name that suggests the evolution of the direction of the space as well our fresh approach to working and living creatively.
