Grownkid makes young adulthood less lonely through community and play.
we're a nyc-based social club for 18-24-year-olds that helps develop life & social skills through play-based events so 18–24-year-olds can live more authentic, connected, and meaningful lives. we blend music, culture, and emotions in unexpected ways through weekly events throughout the city.
our belief is simple: play unlocks confidence; confidence enables care; and care sustains community.
in a world that teaches detachment as confidence, we offer a new rebellion: play, courage, and care.
at Grownkid, we believe the meaning of life is play.
Grownkid is building a warmer world for young adults by turning loneliness into community through play.
in a generation where 3 in 4 young adults say finances are their biggest mental health challenge and loneliness has been declared a national epidemic, our work gives youth the confidence, connection, and support they’ve been searching for.
through our podcast, digital platforms, and IRL events, we’ve built a community of over 130,000 young people, reaching 22 million impressions, hosting 11+ sold-out events, and averaging 10,000 listeners per podcast episode.
these are transformative experiences wherer young adults show up as strangers and leave with new friends, social skills, and the courage to live a life their own.
our mission is simple and impactful: Grownkid helps young people move from isolation to belonging, from detachment to care, and from feeling alone to knowing they have a community to support them.
