About us
Hello there! Are you a young adult (age 18-29) who lives in the Los Angeles South Bay and open to meeting new people and building social connection? Do you consider yourself neurodiverse, feel out of sync in social settings, or experience social discomfort? If so, we would love to have you join our free young adult social group. We host a weekly activity for young adults to connect, share experiences, and build friendships without the pressure of fitting into typical social norms. We offer a space full of understanding, empathy, and a sense of belonging where everyone can feel accepted for who they are. The group is hosted by Beach Cities Gateway staff Calvin Schrock or Katherine Rivas. We look forward to getting to know you!

Curious about improv but not sure where to start? This Improv through AdLib (https://theadlibcompany.com/about/#:~:text=At%20The%20AdLib%20Company%2C%20our,connection%2C%20healing%2C%20and%20personal%20growth.) session is designed as a neurodivergent-affirming, beginner-friendly space where you can explore improv at your own pace.There’s no pressure to perform, no expectation to be “funny,” and no experience required. You’re always welcome to observe, participate as much or as little as you’d like, and take breaks when needed. The focus is on learning, self-expression, and feeling safe to try.
What makes this space supportive:
- Clear structure and guided activities
- Consent-based participation (you can opt in or out at any time)
- A calm, inclusive environment that respects different communication styles
- Emphasis on encouragement, not perfection
This is a great opportunity to practice improv skills, social confidence, and creativity in a community that values neurodiversity, respect, and belonging.
We’d love to have you join us—just come as you are 💛2 attendees
