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!
