Host Your Meeting at the Innovation Center
The Possible Zone is happy to share our first-floor Community Space and, on some Fridays, a first-floor classroom, with the organizations and groups that make our neighborhood stronger. Located at our Boston headquarters, the Innovation Center at 31 Heath Street in Jamaica Plain. These spaces are offered as a community resource for mission-driven work in Jackson Square and the surrounding Boston communities.
We’d love to host your meeting, training session, or small program. Here’s everything you need to know to decide whether the space is a good fit.
Who the space is for
Our priority is hosting nonprofit organizations and community groups whose work strengthens connections and brings resources to Jackson Square and nearby Boston neighborhoods. We’re also happy to consider requests from local businesses and corporate partners.
The space is a great fit for:
- Meetings and planning sessions
- Trainings and workshops
- Small, mission-aligned programmatic events
It is not a fit for:
- Personal or family celebrations such as baby showers, birthday parties, or graduations
- Performing arts or exercise classes (we can’t host these for liability reasons)
- Events with DJs or live bands
- Weekend or late-evening gathering
Our two spaces at a glance
Community Space
- Holds up to 30 guests

Both spaces are subject to holidays and TPZ special events, and meetings or events should run four hours or less.
What we provide and what you bring
A TPZ staff member will be on-site throughout your event to manage access to the building and we’ll supply trash receptacles for cleanup.
You’re asked to bring your own meeting facilitation materials, any stationery or paper goods you need, and any food or drinks (along with the plates, cups, utensils, and napkins to serve them). You’re also responsible for cleaning up and clearing trash at the end. We do not have appliances for heating or cooling food and drink.
A few good-to-knows: alcohol isn’t permitted without advance written approval, and the building is entirely smoke- and vape-free.
What it costs
For 501(c)(3) nonprofits, public agencies, and organized community groups, use of the Community Space is currently free though a small fee may apply if the space needs a dedicated cleaning service afterward.
If your organization isn’t a nonprofit, or if you charge participants a fee to attend, we’ll make a decision about use fees on a case-by-case basis. These are our current policies and may change at any time.
A couple of requirements worth knowing early
To confirm a booking, we’ll need a certificate of insurance naming The Possible Zone as an additional insured, and a signed indemnification agreement. Don’t worry if your organization doesn’t carry every type of insurance — it doesn’t automatically rule you out; it just means we’ll talk it through and decide together. You’ll also be asked to agree to the building’s policies and code of conduct, which keep the space safe and welcoming for everyone who uses it.
You can review the full details in our Building Policies & Guidelines.
