Different pathways into community and belonging.

Find Your Way Into Community

Belonging doesn't look the same for everyone.

Sometimes it begins by simply showing up. Sometimes it happens over a shared meal, through an honest conversation, while serving alongside someone else, or through play.

Unplugged creates different ways for people to move from unfamiliar faces to meaningful community.

Come as you are. Find the place that feels right for you.

  • Show Up

    Chatty Cafe

    A casual community gathering where you can grab a cup of coffee or tea, slow down, and spend time with other people—no agenda required.

  • Connect

    The Shared Table

    A device-free community potluck where food, thoughtful conversation, and a shared table turn strangers into neighbors.

  • Be Known

    The Belonging Project

    Facilitated circles where people can share honestly, listen deeply, and experience what it feels like to be heard and supported.

  • Contribute

    Unplugged In-Service

    Small-group volunteer experiences that bring people together to serve their neighbors and strengthen their community.

  • Grow

    South Bay Play Collaborative

    A developing youth initiative exploring how movement, play, and device-free experiences can help young people connect with one another.

There Isn't Just One Way to Belong

Community develops differently for everyone. Our programs create multiple ways to enter, deepen, and contribute to community.

  1. Show Up
  2. Connect
  3. Be Known
  4. Contribute
  5. Grow

You don't have to follow these steps in order.

Join where you feel comfortable. Stay where you find connection. Contribute when you're ready.

The goal isn't to complete a pathway.

The goal is to find your people—and eventually help someone else find theirs.

Your community is waiting.

Whether you want somewhere to spend a morning, a table to gather around, a place to have a meaningful conversation, an opportunity to serve, or a way to help build something new, there's a place for you at Unplugged.
