Where to meet singles
Not every first meeting starts online. These are real places and groups where people get talking.

Train as a Heal the Bay volunteer
Heal the Bay holds a volunteer orientation every month, leading to roles at its aquarium, on the beach and in community science. Volunteering together over months is a natural way to get to know people.
