About us
Yeah, we actually love seeing members step into volunteer or leadership roles here in the Velvet Aurora Singles Community. Whether you're passionate about event planning, bringing people together, or just want to help shape the vibe of our gatherings, there's room for you to get involved. It's a great way to deepen your connection with the group and make a real impact while meeting amazing people who share your values.
We're all about building a warm, inclusive, and drama free culture where people feel safe being themselves. This isn't a scene where you have to fake it or compete for attention. We're here for real conversations, genuine connections, and relationships that go deeper than surface level. Respect, kindness, and emotional honesty are the foundation of everything we do.
We typically host events once or twice a month, mixing things up with cozy indoor meetups like wine and paint nights or intimate dinner parties, and fun outdoor adventures like scenic hikes or farmers market strolls. The pace is relaxed but consistent, giving you time to connect and breathe between events without losing momentum.
Accessibility matters to us, so we choose event locations that are wheelchair friendly, centrally located, and public transit accessible. We also rotate venues to make sure different parts of the city are represented over time. If you have a specific need or suggestion, just let us know and we'll work with you to make it happen.
If you're tired of swiping through endless profiles and want something more meaningful, this is your invitation to try something different. Velvet Aurora is for singles who are ready to meet authentic, like minded people through real experiences, not forced small talk. Come as you are, open your heart, and let's build something beautiful together.
