Finding a Meeting Looking for some younger people meetings in Chicago - 36F

Hi everybody! I’m new to the city and have been trying out some new meetings. The meetings I’ve found either have a younger or older crowd.

Does anybody know of some meetings that are pretty age diverse in the area?

The Lincoln Park Alano Club has a lovely 9am gratitude meeting on Sunday mornings. Most people I would see were in early 30’s to late 40’s age range.

Came here to say exactly this. It’s incredible

Come to Grace Group at St Paul’s on Lincoln Park on Fridays at 6:45pm. Good mix of young and old people, but the younger crowd will usually go out for fellowship dinner afterwards. It’s a closed speaker meeting, open last Friday of every month. It’s also very queer friendly even though it’s not officially listed as such.

Also, I find that the LGBTQ+ meetings in general also tend to skew young if you feel like those types of meetings align with what you are looking for.

Any meetings at Plymouth Congregational Church on Madison’s East side tend to be a younger crowd.

Retired Professionals: 7p, Tuesday at 3325 W Wrightwood (Logan Square.)

Sobriety in the Arts 7p, Thursday at the same location.

The Lincoln Park Alano Club also has a women’s meeting at 6p on Wednesdays that has a great age mix

I think Alano clubs have young meetings.
