About us
Yeah, we actually love when people want to step up and help out there are definitely volunteer and leadership opportunities if you're interested in being more involved. Whether you've got great ideas for events or just enjoy helping organize things behind the scenes, we welcome your energy and input. It's a great way to get more connected and help shape the kind of experiences we're creating together.
Most of our events are based right here in Portland, so if you're living in or near the city, you'll find plenty of chances to meet up without having to travel far. We pick spots that are easy to get to, whether you're coming from downtown or the surrounding neighborhoods, and we always try to mix up the locations so there's something for everyone to enjoy.
We take respect and inclusivity seriously this is a space where everyone should feel safe, seen, and valued. We expect all members to treat each other with kindness and openness, and our organizers are trained to step in if anything feels off. It's not just about avoiding negativity; it's about actively creating a vibe where real connections can grow.
Our events usually run about two to three hours long enough to really get to know people, but not so long that it feels like a commitment. Think of it like a relaxed evening out: maybe a cozy wine tasting, a fun trivia night, or a scenic group hike that ends with great conversation. It's the perfect amount of time to connect without feeling overwhelmed.
If you're tired of swiping through apps and want something more genuine, this is your chance to meet real people who are also looking for something meaningful. Orchid Crest Singles Community is all about slowing down, having fun, and letting relationships grow naturally in a supportive environment. Come as you are we'd love to meet you and help you find your next great connection.
