What we’re about
Welcome to Portland 20s Crew: Outdoor Adventures & Hangouts!
Follow us on Instagram @Portland20sCrew
I'm Steven, your group organizer, and I am excited to unite those aged 20-29 in Portland, Maine, and nearby areas.
Our Mission: We aim to connect everyone aged 20-29 through outdoor and social events. While there are many Meetup groups in Maine, most cater to older age groups. We provide a group specifically for young adults to connect and enjoy activities together.
What Sets Us Apart: Unlike other Meetup groups, we stay true to our mission: everyone in our group ages 20-29. Our average age in the group is 25. 34 members have attended at least one event in the group.
Requirements to Join Our Group:
- Be between the ages of 20-29
- Answer all joining questions
- Have a Meetup profile picture of yourself
- Join the GroupMe, set a profile picture on GroupMe, and enable GroupMe notifications
- Keep your RSVP's accurate in the group and if you can't make an event change your RSVP
Can't wait to meet everyone and explore the great outdoors together! 🌲🌟 #Portland20sCrew

Screw the Apps: A 21+ Dating Mixer in Portland, Maine
We are all tired of dating apps, which is why two of Portland’s most established and successful dating groups are coming together to host the biggest dating mixer of 2025.Hosted by Portland Maine Singles and The Bug Club of Maine, Screw the Apps is a 21+ dating mixer for people in their 20s, 30s, and 40s.
We understand that dating mixers can feel intimidating. Maybe you have been to one before where the group felt too small, the ages were not aligned, or the gender ratio was off. This event is being designed for success, and here is how we are making it different.What Makes This Event Special
Personalized Name Tags
Every attendee will receive a name tag with their name, age, and top five interests. You will fill this out at check-in. This makes conversations natural and easy because you will see mutual interests right away. You can also immediately identify people in your preferred age group.Games and Activities
Instead of being stuck in small talk, you will have opportunities to join fun games at several tables throughout Bayside Bowl. These activities make it easier to relax, connect, and enjoy yourself.Complete Transparency
Buying a ticket without knowing what to expect can feel stressful. That is why we are providing full visibility. Our ticketing platform (Posh) will display the total number of attendees. In addition, we will post weekly updates on Instagram showing how many people are attending in each age group and what the gender balance looks like.The age groups for this event are
-21 to 25 (Young 20s)
-26 to 35
-36 to 45
-and 45 plusWhile we welcome everyone, the main focus of this event is singles in their 20s and 30s. We are advertising through local businesses, social media ads, and community partners to make sure we have strong attendance across all groups.
The Match Card System
At the end of the night, you will receive a card with every attendee’s name printed on it. You can mark the people you would like to connect with. If they choose you as well, we will provide both of you with each other’s contact information. You can still ask for numbers during the event, but this system removes the pressure and gives you a safe, simple backup plan.Event Details
Tickets are $20 per person. Each ticket includes one free drink, your choice of beer, wine, cocktail, or a mocktail.
If you invite friends and share your ticket link, you can also earn $3 for every ticket purchased through your link.Follow us on Instagram for event updates, attendee numbers, and breakdowns by age and gender. Feel free to reach out with any questions.
It is time to screw the apps and make real connections in real life.
