Box Social
A 6-week community for meeting new people in Toronto.
Making friends is hard.
Moving to a new city, or finding new friends in an old city can be tough. You often need to put yourself out there, join multiple clubs, and try to fit yourself into existing social circles.
It should be as simple as it was at summer camp.
Remember how easy it was to make friends in school, and at camp? We believe it's a simple recipe:
- A group of people with similar interests
- Who don't know each other
- who meet on a regular basis to try new things
How It Works
Box Social plans weekly events with a community of the same people, enabling you to create long-lasting friendships, and try new things in Toronto.
Step #2
Complete Interview
We ask all participants to complete a short virtual interview - it can be done at any time and will take approximately 10 minutes.
Step #3
Match With A Community
After your interview, we'll contact you with available options and cohorts, and match you with a community with a start date that works for you.
Step #4
Attend Events, Meet Friends
For 6 weeks, we'll plan weekly events for you and your community. Connect with friends and try new experiences in a social environment.
Step #5
Make Long-Lasting Connections
After the 6 weeks, keep in contact with your community by planning your own events and staying in touch.
Our Events
Here are a few of the events we've got planned for your community. All our events are facilitated so that they allow you to be as social as you're feeling.
🤝 Meet & Greet
A low-stakes mixer, facilitated by our community leader, to introduce yourself and the group.
🎤 Karaoke Night
Sing your heart out. Don't be embarassed, you're with friends.
🍳 Cooking Class
Learn to cook something delicious with your community, then maybe plan a dinner party afterwards?
🔎 Scavenger Hunt
Split into smaller groups and search across the city for various items.
🧘 Yoga Night
Breath, stretch, and find inner calm, followed by some food & drinks.
🎨 Paint Night
Create beautiful (or not-so-beautiful) artwork, while chatting about it.
Different events work for different communities. We'll tailor your community's events to its interests.
