The Corner Greeter events were designed by the community at the May 2014 Gathering event in Rainier Beach. The pop-up style event, held on a rotating basis at five focus areas are a creative way to bring people together to foster interactions that build community. They are designed to engage passers-by in fun activities The primary goal is to develop a following of neighborhood volunteers (residents, businesses, stakeholders) to provide stewardship of the Corner Greeters and guardianship of the space they function in. RBAC has placed youth in charge of running the Corner Greeters and would like the neighborhood to take leadership from them.
