Girls Who Code is a free weekly program at the Sci-Tech & Esports Hub that empowers girls to explore coding through creativity and collaboration. In a supportive setting, participants develop problem solving skills, build confidence, and discover their potential in STEM. No prior experience is required, only curiosity and a love of learning. Space is limited, so early registration is encouraged.

Spend time outdoors helping keep the Greenway clean and healthy while meeting other volunteers. Activities include collecting litter, clearing invasive plants from trees, and planting natives when possible. Some tools will be available, and participants are welcome to bring gloves, loppers, and clippers. The Friends of the Greenway can provide certification for volunteer work if needed. Meet at the Anderson Street Bridge. Street parking is available, and there is also a parking lot across the bridge. Check for any schedule changes or cancellations before coming, and direct any questions to the event organizers.

Mr. Tommy leads a lively storytime designed for little ones ages 0 to 3. Children can enjoy a mix of stories and songs crafted to hold their attention from start to finish. Registration is required, and please reserve one spot for each child.

Run AF brings the community together in Hoboken for a free weekly group run. The route covers roughly three miles and welcomes every pace, from beginners to experienced runners. Speed is not the focus. The aim is participation, shared movement, and building a steady routine. After the run, participants can head to Firm AF for Cut the Core, a Pilates-based session centered on abs and stability, which requires a separate booking. Come for the miles, stay for the core work.
