NYC New In Town Meetup

​New to the city and eager to start building your local community?

​Come hang out with fellow New Yorkers for a fun, welcoming gathering where we'll meet new people, share the social life we wish for, swap tips, and help each other feel at home in NYC.

​This is a space to connect with new people, and help each other take action, find support, and build the local community we want around us.

​Newcomers are risk-takers, builders, and innovators looking for belonging. When we welcome newcomers, we strengthen our communities and prevent loneliness.

​Let’s build a more connected NYC together!

​Newcomers and longtime residents of all ages and backgrounds are welcome.

​Agenda (note that we'll start promptly at 6pm and finish on time)

• ​6:00pm: warm welcome and introductions

• ​6:30pm: we share what we wish for

• ​6:45pm: small group exchanges where we share practical tips, e.g. people, places, events, groups, neighborhoods

• ​7:00pm: group debrief and community time

• ​7:30pm: event ends

​What to bring

​Your curiosity, ideas, or simply your presence and willingness to participate. Bring Your Own Drink (BYOB) and I'll bring a few healthy snacks.
