+MPU South Bend | Zoo + Conversations

Potawatomi Zoo

Step into an evening of wonder, connection, and community as we explore the Potawatomi Zoo Luminate together! This +More Perfect Union South Bend Brickyard event is more than just a trip to the zoo—it’s an opportunity to strengthen the ties that unite us.

In a world that can often feel divided, we’re creating space to come together in a joyful, inclusive environment where curiosity and conversation thrive. Surrounded by nature and animals from around the world, we’ll connect with each other and our shared humanity through meaningful interactions and lighthearted fun.

Bring your kids, your curiosity, and your commitment to a better future. Whether it’s your first visit or your fiftieth, let’s turn a day at the zoo into a step toward a more perfect union.

About the South Bend Chapter

Across cities and towns just like yours nationwide, we serve our communities by starting with bringing different neighbors together for events centered around Service, Leadership, and Civics.

By rolling up our sleeves side-by-side, we can begin to see that we have more in common than what divides us; that first and foremost we are fellow Americans with a common love for our families and communities.

These Chapters – also known as our Brickyards – are mobile places for neighbors to connect and solve local problems. We do this through respectful and open conversations, and to find higher ground as we work together brick-by-brick.

The South Bend, IN Brickyard is led by Sara Hunold.
