Host of the event, Gabrielle, has been dreaming of ways to meaningfully connect and make new friends in her community since arriving from New Zealand in 2022. Fast forward two years and this opportunity with YLab presents the perfect opportunity to do just that. Join us for dinner, guided activities, and your chance to meet young people in your local neighbourhood.
