Two years ago I was bored watching TV and praying that my co-workers would have a happy hour or get together outside of work. It was tough being a single guy in his last twenties and not being able to meet new people.

When [NJYP] found me on Friendster, I was hesitant but definitely ready to meet new people. My life has changed immensely. I gave up watching American Idol and playing Fantasy Football, I stopped stressing about work and family, and I gained more friends than I can count.

I've made many great friends through NJYP. A+++ Would do again!

NJYP has introduced me to people that I would otherwise not have met. It has developed into more then a basic networking group, it has become a support system both professionally and socially for all of us trying to establish ourselves.

I moved to Essex County from NYC and knew no one around except for my boyfriend and his friends. I came across an ad for NJYPﾅ and decided to join. I'm so glad that I did! I have met many interesting people in the group and made many friends. It's a great group to join if you're new to the area and want to meet people, whether you're single or in a relationship.

Being in my mid 30s there arenﾒt real opportunities to make new friends and find fun things to do. When [NJYP] contacted me last Summer after I graduated from Grad school, I really wasnﾒt sure what to expect. In October I posted a listing looking for musicians. 6 months later because of my connections made via NJYP Iﾒm now in a band with a bunch of nice people, and we play every week and have a great time.

When I first joined NJYP I wasn't sure what to expect. But then I bit the bullet and started going to the different events and I realized I was having great times with awesome people. NJYP has opened up whole new worlds for me. I recommend NJYP to anyone and everyone.
