It can be difficult to meet new friends in our busy world. To try to build more friendships, you need to start by creating opportunities and taking some initiative. Here are 3 ideas for meeting new people and forming friendships:
- Join a local club or organization that fits your interests. Think of things like service clubs, running groups, bird-watching, or political groups.
- Volunteer. Consider things you would like to help with, such as food pantries, soup kitchens, animal shelters, or local clean-up efforts.
- Participate in recreation activities, such as game nights, trivia nights, craft classes. You can find things to do through your local library or community shops and businesses that host events.
