What we’re about
Our gatherings are fun, casual, and inclusive events for young adults ages high school to 30. We host events such as game nights, craft nights, outdoor activities, special interest groups, and so much more!
Nest Gatherings is a social program sponsored by A Little Compassion Inc. and The Nest Coffee House in Deep River, CT!
Our gatherings are open to all, and we place a special emphasis on welcoming autistic and neurodivergent young adults. We strive to provide a supportive, structured environment where young adults can find a safe place to hang out and connect with peers.
The group will explore new activities and interests together. Join us for events like trivia, card games, painting, and open mic nights. Our gatherings are free. The only requirement is that you come with a nonjudgmental heart and an open mind!
**For more information on A Little Compassion and The Nest Coffee house, visit us online at www.thenestcoffeehouse.org or www.alittlecompassion.org.**
Nest Gatherings are funded in part by generous grants from
the Community Foundation of Middlesex County and the American Savings Foundation.
