Steven, creator, founder, facilitator and host of Rainbow Social. You’ll always spot me in a rainbow shirt — welcoming you, introducing you, and helping you feel included and connected.

At the heart of Rainbow Social are the 3 C’s:
Commitment. Consistency. Courage.

Coming along to something new can feel uncomfortable, scary, or nerve-wracking — that’s part of being human. Showing up is an act of courage.

The goal isn’t just to meet people — it’s to make real friends. That happens through consistency. The more often you attend, the easier it becomes and the deeper the connections grow.

We ARE:
- A strong and established social group to create meaningful connections
- A place to meet, mingle, connect and network
- A place to make friends (if someone asks you on a coffee, DO IT!)
- A place to meet like minded people you might not have before
- A place to have a deep sense of connection

We are NOT:
- Dating or hook up service/group
- Mental health support group
- Advertising group
- Political
- A group that does drama!
- Speed dating group!
