Are you looking to meet new people who like to do what you like to do?
Or perhaps you are looking to venture off in a new direction and take up a whole new hobby. These are just a couple of the reasons that the Young Adult Division has developed YAD Clusters. A Cluster is a group of 10 to 30 individuals, led by a volunteer cluster coordinator that gives people the opportunity to meet others with similar interests in a welcoming environment. These groups help connect hikers with hikers, dog lovers with dog lovers, beach-goers with beach-goers and cyclists with cyclists. Think there is no one else who likes what you like? Chances are someone does and here is a way you can find those people. Through clusters you can make friends or have an excuse to gather with old friends and help build a San Diego community that fits you! Clusters are theme-based by hobby, location, profession, etc.
