About this event
If you’re curious about joining a Stronger Together Group this fall, this orientation is the best place to start. It’s designed to help you understand what the Fall 25' Cohort is all about, how the groups work, and what kind of experience you can expect before you commit. This is more than a quick information session. It’s a chance to get grounded in the purpose of the program, meet others who are exploring it too, and leave with a clear sense of whether this is the right fit for you this season. What Is This? Stronger Together Groups Orientation is an in-person kickoff session for people interested in the Fall 25' Cohort. The goal is simple: give you a clear introduction to the group experience so you can step in with confidence, context, and realistic expectations. If you’ve heard about Stronger Together Groups but aren’t fully sure what they involve, this event is built for that exact moment. Rather than asking you to figure things out on your own, the orientation brings everything into one place: the purpose of the cohort, the format of the groups, and how community, conversation, and connection come together over time. You can expect a welcoming, structured session that helps turn general interest into clarity. Whether you already know you want to participate or you’re still deciding, the orientation is meant to answer the practical and social questions that matter most. What to Expect The session will likely begin with an introduction to the Stronger Together Groups model and what makes the Fall 25' Cohort distinct. You’ll get a sense of the intention behind the groups, how the cohort experience is organized, and what participation may look like from the inside. You should also expect space for real interaction, not just one-way presentation. Since this is in person, the orientation creates a natural opportunity to meet fellow attendees, start conversations, and get a feel for the community you may be stepping into. Here’s the kind of experience this orientation is designed to offer: Program context so you understand the purpose of the cohort, not just the logistics Format clarity around how groups typically function and what participation may involve Connection time with others who are considering or preparing for the same experience Question-friendly space where you can get direct answers before the cohort begins Expect a session that balances information with community. The point is not to overwhelm you with details, but to help you leave with a grounded, useful understanding of what comes next. Why Attend Joining any group experience is easier when you know what you’re walking into. This orientation helps remove uncertainty by making the structure, expectations, and value of the Fall 25' Cohort easier to understand. It’s also a smart way to assess fit. Some people attend because they want community, some because they want accountability, and others because they’re simply looking for a more intentional way to connect with people. Orientation gives you a better sense of whether Stronger Together Groups match what you’re looking for right now. Attending can help you: Make a more informed decision about joining the cohort Start building familiarity early before groups officially get underway Feel more comfortable showing up because you’ve already had an entry point Meet potential peers and begin forming connections from day one Understand the tone and purpose of the experience, not just the schedule For returning community members, this can also be a useful reset. Even if you already have some context, hearing how this cohort is being introduced and framed can help you engage more intentionally. Practical Details This is an in-person event taking place on Friday, September 19 at 3:00 PM PDT. Because the format is face-to-face, you can expect a more natural environment for conversation, introductions, and getting a read on the group dynamic. An in-person orientation works especially well for a community-based program like this one. It gives you a better sense of the people, energy, and atmosphere than a purely digital session can offer, which makes it easier to decide how you want to participate moving forward. A few useful things to keep in mind: Plan to arrive a few minutes early so you can settle in before the session begins Come ready to listen, ask questions, and talk with others if you’d like to If you’re on the fence about joining, this is exactly the right stage to attend If you already plan to participate, orientation is a strong way to begin with context and momentum If you’ve been looking for a thoughtful way into community this fall, this is a practical first step. You’ll leave with a clearer picture of the Fall 25' Cohort, a better understanding of what Stronger Together Groups are meant to offer, and a stronger sense of how you want to show up.
