Speed Friending
Arc Northland, in collaboration with the Minnesota Inclusion Initiative Grant, is now offering Speed Friending! Speed Friending is a fun, fast, and relaxed way to meet new people! Speed Friending is similar to speed dating, but focused on building friendships and community connections. Participants engage in short, structured conversations that make it easy to connect without pressure. This inclusive format helps reduce social anxiety, encourages equal participation, and builds confidence through positive interactions. By bringing together people with and without disabilities, Speed Friending fosters lasting connections that strengthen community inclusion across the region. For more information, please contact Amanda Crosby at (218) 726-4860 or by email: acrosby@arcnorthland.org
