Why activity-based groups work
Meeting someone through a shared activity gives you something to talk about and something to do together from the beginning.
That's the idea behind Gather Up: connect people through activities, groups, and events rather than endless scrolling through a social feed.
You can discover what's happening nearby, join an existing group, or create your own activity and let people around you find it.
