New Friends MKE

Milwaukee, WI

Hello, People join this group to meet new people but there are things that make this group special. 1) Our members - I have met a lot of people and we seem to draw very sincere people. In my three years, I have seen so many great relationships of all kinds form. This wouldn't happen at the pace it does if it weren't for the fact that our members come to events with the right intentions and a friendly tone. 2) Quality of our events - We are now the largest and most active group in the state. This gives us opportunities to make great events. The hosts and I put a lot of thought and work into our events. It is our goal to make events welcoming and entertaining. There are a lot of "regular" members that attend many events. Each one of these people started with one event and now I know the group means a lot to them. Take the risk! Join, come to an event, and if it works for you, I am sure I will see you at a lot more. NOTE: If you would like to run an event, awesome, I would love to hear from you. Or if you are a business that would like for us to try out your establishment, let me know. I am open to suggestions. You can see my contact information below. Thank you.

New and Old Friends Over 50

Waukesha, WI

You must be vaccinated. This group is for mature men and women, single or attached who enjoy getting together to explore various events, music, art, theater, games, dining out, sharing our knowledge, experiences, and having some fun. Geography is not an issue. This is a "no drama" zone. If it sounds like fun, let's try it! Feel free to make suggestions. Let the new memories begin. Please RSVP soon and often. We have many get-togethers where you can feel free to ask questions, talk about ideas, or any areas of concern. The easiest way to track our events is to look at the calendar (on your computer) located under "Events". This works better than the phone app, by displaying a regular calendar showing each day's events. Each week, we have events to choose from all around Waukesha and Milwaukee. Hope to meet you soon!

Milwaukee Casual Game Nights - Meet People Over Video Chat

Milwaukee, WI

Welcome! We’re a fun-loving community of 2000+ people from all over the US (plus some international folks). We play casual social games together and help people make new friends every week. Whether you work from home, are a digital nomad, or are just looking for community online, we’d love to have you! Our events are exclusively online. We play a mix of games on a video-chat platform called Ludio (no downloads or accounts necessary, everything happens in the browser). Our games are very accessible and beginner-friendly - it takes just 5 minutes to learn most of our games. There are video tutorials for each game that you’re welcome to watch beforehand on try.ludio.gg, but even if you haven't - show up and we will teach you the games anyway! We do insist that you play with your camera on. We believe video chat does a great job of helping people feel connected to other, and we promise it's way more fun! If you’re on the fence about that, we encourage you to hop on a short call with the organizers before your first event - just message us here. Each one of our community members is vetted by the organizers, which is how we keep the group safe, fun, and spam-free.

Junto Waukesha (20s Friends and Socialization)

Waukesha, WI

Do you crave authentic, in-person social activities? Are you tired of being glued to your phone to get your social fix? Junto Waukesha is a social club for young adults seeking new friends and social activities. The Junto is founded on the following assumptions: 1. Meaningful, in-person social interaction is critical to wellbeing: Recognizing the fundamental human need for social connections, the Junto prioritizes the significance of robust, in-person social bonds for overall wellbeing. 2. Young people are lonelier than ever: In response to the pervasive trend of young adult loneliness and diminishing close friendships, the Junto aims to provide a solution through fostering real-world social connections. 3. Virtual communication is cheap: Virtual communication and social media can never fully satisfy the need for genuine socialization on their own. Excessive reliance on devices isolate us from each other. While we acknowledge the utility of these tools when used properly, they can never replace in-person socialization. 4. There needs to be a "common ground" for socialization: This common ground should be easily accessible, meet regularly, and be free of political/religious/ideological bend. Cost should never be a barrier to entry; participation should be free or nearly free (never more than $10). Phones should never be used during a Junto meeting. There should be an emphasis on getting to know your fellow members as individuals and encouraging mutual improvement. This is a new group so I any input from members regarding ideas and activities is welcome!
