Encourage and Connect Young Adult Group

Are you a college student or recent college graduate who is worrying about what to do next?

Are you feeling super isolated in this new chapter of your life?

Are you looking back at your college years and regretful that it didn’t meet your expectations?

Has it been harder than you expected to start “adulting”?

Do you spend time worrying that you’ll never figure out what you really want for yourself?

If you answered YES to any of these questions, then this group is for you!
