THE SOCIAL SPACE
You Belong Here
Check out the event calendar!
We are excited to meet you!
We know it can be hard to find a place where you feel seen. Meeting others is awkward and intimidating. But it doesn't have to be! We have created a place where you can feel calm and comfortable.
We know that there aren't many places where young adults ages 15-25 can meet each other.
If you go to college, you might meet people there. If you work, you might meet coworkers there too. But what if you aren't ready for the next step of college or career......yet?
What if you are most comfortable meeting others online? Or forming friendships while playing video games? We've got you.
Is there a place where you can meet new people just like you? Or maybe meet new people who aren't just like you but are unique in their own ways just like you are unique in your own ways, too?
We are that place. We are The Social Space!
What Kind of Events Do We Have at The Social Space?
Our spaces are designed for you to meet others and explore career and college topics in a small group format. We have designed workshops that are informative and taught with easy to understand, down to earth language to help students see themselves possibly pursuing college or a career!

We help you connect & find community
In-person events are limited to 6 people to help participants get to know each other. We want you to feel comfortable in our cozy space. Borrow a book or use a pillow. Our space is meant to feel like home.
Virtual events are limited to 10 participants. All events are facilitated by Jennifer Sullivan or an adult member of her coaching team who encourages students to participate while meeting students where they are in their ability to connect with others. We hope you will take a risk and attend a virtual meeting once then challenge yourself to come back and try another meeting. Stepping outside of your comfort zone and meeting new people can bring you confidence - and hopefully ioy!
