We Need You

The world is harsh at the best of times, and utterly unforgiving to those of us who don't have enough friends, or have families that don't understand their needs.

Sol, at its heart, is about creating opportunities for strangers to connect with one another in person; to collaborate, and socialize, and be greater than what each individual can be on their own.

For this, we need you.

We appreciate you buying our coffees, teas, and other foods, as they help us cover the costs of our community operations. But most importantly, we appreciate your presence; the music and art, polite banter and board games, and laughter and energy you generously offer to our tiny social space.

We are actively looking for volunteers to help us organize social groups at Cafe Sol and iO - The Space. Some examples of social groups include gaming club (currently managed by Jess), philosophy club (organized by Muzamil) and our mental health support groups (moderated by Jeni).

If you have an interest that you wish to explore with other people, and to possibly make new friends along the way, we would love for you to get in touch with us. Whether you're looking to start a film society, or a book club, or anything else, we'd be happy to lend you our space and resources, and help you find people for your group. We would also appreciate you reaching out to your own friends and bringing them in.

Most of our social groups are free. You don't have to buy anything from the cafe, although we do encourage community members to buy tea or coffee to help us freely conduct and promote our community programs.

We are not an NGO. We are a community of compassionate and talented people, like yourself.

And we need you.

Let us know if you have any ideas.
