What Are Young Adult Social Nights?
Young Adult Social Nights provide a space for adults to build genuine connections through shared hobbies. It’s ideal for those who want to get involved and connect with others in a low-pressure, supportive setting.
The program is centered on collaborative activities and young adult–led social engagement, helping participants build community naturally over time.
When applicable, we may bring in community experts to guide activities, or head out to a local community venue to create more opportunities for social connection while targeting everyone’s interests.
How the Program Works (10 Weeks)
The program runs for 10 weekly sessions (90 minutes each), focused on collaborative activities and social engagement.
Session 1: Building Trust
Young adults work together to vote on the activities for the term. We focus on establishing a strong foundation of trust and safety between the group and the facilitators.
Sessions 2–10: Group Activities
We have all activities and supplies ready for the night; each session features a participant-chosen theme where we engage, have fun, and continue building friendships in a semi-structured environment.
Natural Settings (Real-World Authenticity)
Activities take place in comfortable, real-world environments to support authenticity and real connection.
