Our Mission.
We create unique experiences for young adults to find meaningful community and build relationships.
Our Vision.
Build Community
Our goal is to create a scene of thriving young adults to build new friendships, explore dating, and get involved with our organization’s monthly events. New social groups meet, merge, and form at every event!
Premium Event Management
We partner with venues and catering services to host professionally planned social events across Washington D.C., Arlington, Front Royal & Maryland.
Social Evangelization
Our group is founded on Catholic and non-religious individuals. We want to create a fun, inviting, and universally accepted perception of the Catholic Church through socialization for all to feel welcome.
Our Story.
To our friends and community,
When I graduated college in 2019 from George Mason University, I struggled for nearly a year in isolation without solid friendships and community.
Through the grace of local parish involvement and an independent Catholic men’s group I pioneered with two buddies of mine, I began to build the authentic friendships I was longing for.
In 2021, I launched DC Social Collective as a COVID effort in helping restore and rebuild young adult community that was lost to the pandemic. In just two years, I have now helped hundreds of young adults across DC, MD, and VA like myself find and build authentic connections with each other in a community of 2,000+ members.
If you know someone who is struggling like I did in their social life post college, please email me at info@dcsocialcollective.com and refer them to our website!
With gratitude,
Christopher Byrne
President & Founder
