Connect. Share. Build What Matters

This free monthly community event is for young adults ages 18–24 who are dreaming, building, creating, or simply looking to connect with like-minded peers.

Here’s what to expect:

– Space to share who you are, what you’re up to, and what you're excited about
– Real conversation with other young innovators who value connection and community
– Opportunities to give and receive support, ideas, and insight
– A casual, welcoming vibe where you can be yourself, meet new people, and expand your vision

This call is all about connection, empowerment, and expansion—in your work, your relationships, your mindset, and your future. Come as you are and be part of a new wave of leaders shaping Ventura County and beyond.
