Capital Region Remote Working Professionals

Saratoga Springs, NY

This group is focused on people who work from home, but want to socialize IN PERSON. This can include remote workers whose colleagues are in other parts of the country, self-employed individuals, freelancers, and any other working professionals who work out of a home office. If you were remote for COVID, but have returned to the office full time or hybrid, you're still welcome. I don’t know about any of you, but I miss the days when I could go out with my coworkers after work to have a drink, celebrate an accomplishment, blow off some steam, or just have some fun together. Work is one of the ways as adults that we get to co-mingle with others and make new friends. It provides two of the three factors needed for making new friends: proximity and unplanned interaction. When you work from home, you lose a lot of that opportunity for work friendships. It might be nice to connect with others who can relate. We may not all work together, but we all share the blessings and socially isolating challenges that come with working from home. So close that laptop and come out to connect, socialize, and/or network. We’ll do after work happy hours, holiday celebrations, and other activities depending on interests. Please feel free to recommend events. This an active group all year round, with events throughout the region, from Albany to Glens Falls. My goal is to gather 2-4 times per month. In order to be accepted into this group your profile must include your name and a picture of you. This will help us find you at events and make a better connection in general. Looking forward to seeing you at an upcoming event!

Networking Organizer for

ASL of the Capital Region

From the Founder: "I have decided to start this group because I love ASL. I have taken a couple courses, but sadly don't remember much. I would like to start getting involved with people who use the language on a regular basis. I would love to eventually become a certified interperter. This group is intended for people of all levels and abilities. I am hoping it would be a learning experience for all."

Active and Social in the Southern Adirondacks

Glens Falls, NY

This is a social support network for people who want to make friends and share fun activities. WHY: Building social ties and staying active are the keys to happiness, at any age! Our big picture goal is to build and maintain a healthy and friendly community. WHO: Open to anyone. WHERE: Most of our events are in the greater Glens Falls, NY area. Basically Warren, Washington, and Saratoga Counties; with a few trips to Lake George and deeper into the Adirondacks of course! WHAT: We organize a variety of events, from bike rides and hikes to hockey and trivia nights. Basically we are open to anything you can convince an organizer to do, but trying to lean towards the "active and social". PRIVACY: 1\. Privacy and safety are critical to creating a fun and safe atmosphere at our events\. It can seem a little counter\-intuitive\, but a critical part of that is actually knowing who you are talking to\. Hopefully this helps explain \#2 and \#3 below\. 2\. Please use a recognizable head\-shot\, and your real first name and first letter of your last name\, in your profile\. For example: John A\. \(Exceptions can be made for privacy if you have a very uncommon or recognizable first name\, or if you have a specific stalking concern\. Contact an organizer\.\)  3\. If your profile has been inactive for more than six months\, you will be removed from the group\. This is to protect your privacy\, and the privacy of the remaining active members\. You are welcome to rejoin the group at any time\. 4\. This is a "private" group on Meetup; meaning that Meetup users who are not in the group cannot see the group membership list\, or who is attending what events\. That's all it means\, and it's very minimal protection\. It doesn't prevent bad actors from joining the group\. Please use common sense safety rules when interacting with Meetup strangers\, both online and in person\. BEHAVIOR: 1\. No\-showing to events takes up a spot someone else could have used\. It's not cool\. Life happens to everybody\, but please give everyone the courtesy of changing your RSVP\. 2\. We will not tolerate any form of stalking\, harassing\, demeaning\, or just douchy behavior\, either on line\, via message\, or in person\. You will be removed and blocked from the group\. 3\. This is not a dating group\! This is a social support group\. There's a huge difference\. People are comfortable coming to our events because they trust that it won't be a meat market\. The other organizers and I are very serious about this\, and please understand that we will remove people from the group if they are making others feel uncomfortable\. 4\. All of that is not to say you can't ask people out within in the group\, but you need to build up some trust first\. \(As a rule of thumb\, I recommend you should try to have at least three real conversations\, at three separate events\, with someone before messaging them or asking for their number\.\) Also show some taste and restraint: if you're just machine gun asking people out\, it's not a good look for you\.

Jewish Social Group

Schenectady, NY

Jewish Social Group

has been recently reorganized in an effort to keep this group operational and build upon the efforts of the previous group leadership to offer Jewish folks from the community an opportunity to socialize and make new friends.

Going forward our group plans are to focus on Jewish cultural regional events.

Shabbat dinners

Mitzvah Volunteer days and networking with other similar groups. Perhaps even a road trip once we get more organized. Please sends us your event information from your synagogues, JCCS and service organizations.

We look forward to seeing you at our next event. Shalom.

Singles Events

Will happen around once a month please join in to keep this part of the group more active. Even if you are not single come and join for networking and company.
