The 5 to 9ers (20s and 30s)

Columbia, MD

The 5 to 9ers (20s and 30s)

-You already have your 9 to 5 life, now it's time for your 5 to 9 life! Join the 5 to 9ers in our welcoming group for young adults in their early 20s/30s.

-Membership is currently closed as attendance demand is higher than event supply.


----Our mission statement----


America's tagline seems to be work, work, work. Where's the play? Where's the life outside of work? Young adults especially seem to have an explosion of social life in college and then afterwards seem to struggle to maintain anything close to it. That doesn't have to be the case. You can still have fun. You can still have a social life with many friends.


I'm a young adult professional who's fed up with the overworked culture. Don't get me wrong, I love to roll up my sleeves and work hard. But I don't think that's what life is all about. I think life is about the memories. The relationships. The nights of laughter.


So many seem to be working to just survive. Why not thrive? Why not have something to look forward to every week? Social gatherings, hiking, dancing, games, sports - the sky is the limit! Organize impromptu gatherings with your new friends on our GroupMe chat or just see what everyone is up to.


Just imagine. A social community. A fun community. An uplifting, supporting, encouraging community! I know there are many like-minded young professionals also craving this in their life. Or maybe craving more of it. If what I said resonated with you, then this group is for you.
