Thank you for becoming a part of the Cottonwood NYC community! We are glad you are here and
look forward to sharing space and ideas with you.
Who are we?
Cottonwood NYC is a member based organization committed to radically shifting the way we think
about learning, education and what it means to be in community.
Our vision is facilitate connection and empower individuals to help create a transformative
community that reflects Greenpoint’s (and NYC’s) diversity of races, ages, physical abilities,
ethnicities, religious and spiritual groups, socioeconomic statuses, sexual orientations, and gender
expressions.
What does it mean to be an Organizational Member of Cottonwood NYC?
Organizational members strengthen Cottonwood NYC’s community by bringing energy and
oHerings to our community center at 203 Driggs Avenue. OHerings may include one-oH events,
workshops over a fixed period of time, or regular programming over an extended period of time. All of
these oHerings help to connect the community. Your organization will be listed on our
website as a community member, Cottonwood NYC will share your events with our membership base
(if requested) and of course you have access to our beautiful space in Greenpoint, Brooklyn.
Keeping the Space Welcoming to All
• Please remove shoes and stow them under the entryway bench (we are a shoeless space).
• Use the hooks and cubbies in the hallway for coats, backpacks, and item storage.
• The furniture at Cottonwood is designed to be responsive to your needs. Use any and all
furniture as needed.
Leaving Cottonwood Beautiful for the Next Person
• Wipe down any tables used and return materials and furniture to their original location.
• Sweep floors and vacuum if necessary (cleaning supplies are in the utility closet in the entry).
• Turn out all lights.
• Ensure the main door is locked.
• Thank you for keeping Cottonwood NYC beautiful!
**A staH member will guide you through the space before your event and explain all of this. Please see
the Cottonwood User Manual in the entry binder for more details on internet, staH contacts, and FAQs.
