+# Third Places Project
+
+## Overview
+
+Third Places Project is a project that will seek to connect Philadelphians to comfortable public spaces, with the focus being on finding places spontaneously.
+
+This project was started as part of Code for Philly's Launchpad 2023 event.
+
+## Joining the regular meetings
+
+We host weekly meetings both in person and remotely. This is largely where we make decisions and set up collaborative pairing sessions to get large chunks of work done.
+
+The best way to find out about our meetings is joining the [#third-places-project](https://codeforphilly.slack.com/archives/C051CV94UV8) channel on the [Code for Philly](https://www.codeforphilly.org/) [Slack](https://www.codeforphilly.org/chat/).
