Is It Local?

One of the best things about Etsy Teams is that they are built around almost anything — a common goalinterest, or even first name. Back in 2005, Etsy Teams were created mainly around common locations to encourage Etsy members to meet up in real life. Years later, location-based teams continue to rock it in the real world by producing community events and solidifying their relationships online and off.
 
Get involved with a team near you by searching your city, state, territory, or country in the Teams search bar. Can't find one that fits? Start your own! Read on to get inspired by some of the activies and events going on in local communities the world over.

Etsy Hacker Grants: Supporting Women in Technology

Etsy's partnering up with Hacker School for a new program focused on encouraging awesome female engineers to balance out the Internet industry. Read more on the Etsy News blog. While Hacker School takes place in New York City, we hope you'll take part in the discussion from wherever you may be.
