Uncover enriching experiences and cultivate connections
Next Chapter is designed for adults who are navigating a new phase of life — one that may include parenting teens or older children, living without children or simply seeking connection and purpose beyond earlier life stages. While that list encompasses many stages, we break it down further with our Next Chapter Community Connectors, specially designed experiences and connections to helpful resources. Next Chapter offers a space where you will be welcomed into a community of peers who share your life experience and curiosity about what comes next.
This is a place for people who are looking to deepen relationships, explore meaningful opportunities, and engage with others who are also writing their next chapter — whatever that may look like.
Meet our Next Chapter Connectors
Our Community Connectors are here to help you find your people! Our connectors weave community among individuals with a shared identity, whether it’s grandparents, widows/widowers or just people in their 50s and 60s looking for friends. Join our connectors for meaningful one-on-one conversations or fun social gatherings to meet other people like you.
