A Boomerang is someone who once lived in Greensboro — they grew up here, went to school or worked here — and has chosen to return. Whether it’s to be closer to family, enjoy a lower cost of living or find career opportunities, Boomerangs are rediscovering all that Greensboro has to offer.
Boomerang Greensboro can support your move back by offering a personalized, one-on-one approach to help you reconnect with the city. We can help you:
While Boomerang Greensboro does not provide a direct financial incentive, we believe the connections we offer are truly priceless. Through personalized support, community introductions and local insights, we help you feel at home faster.
Plus, the cost of living in Greensboro is an incentive in itself. For example, someone returning from Brooklyn would find their salary goes 42% farther here.
“It’s not just about saving money — it’s about building a life with more value, more space and more possibility,” says Alejandra Thompson de Jordan, who moved back from New York City.
Boomerang Greensboro makes it easy (and fun!) to help you recruit friends and family back to Greensboro. We start by sending them a Boomerang Box, a thoughtful package that includes locally made snacks and an invitation to return home.
Once we’ve piqued their interest, we’re here to help with the next steps. We offer personalized support, introductions to local professionals and curated resources to make their move back as seamless and exciting as possible.

That’s great to hear — welcome back to Greensboro! One of the best ways to start reconnecting is by joining our monthly Remote Co-Worker Club, a free, full-day event designed specifically for remote workers and Boomerangs looking to connect. It’s a casual, co-working-style day where you can meet other returnees, network, and build connections. We also host a professional development workshop over lunch — and yes, lunch is on us!
We’re also happy to point you in the right direction when it comes to getting involved in the community.
