About our group
CityFam’s mission is to create genuine community by helping people become the best versions of themselves. We believe that genuine community has the power it has to change an individual, a city, and even the world. CityFam's method involves creating this genuine community through social and service events. Each month all around the world, CityFam members host social and service events in their local communities. The monthly social events are hosted with the purpose to create community and end loneliness. The monthly service events connects members to their communities and to each other through volunteerism.
A recent Cigna study found that nearly half of the 20,000 Americans who participated in their research sometimes or always feel alone (46%) or left out (47%). One in five participants reported that they rarely or never felt connected to people. Making friends as an adult means putting yourself out there. Another recent study found that most adults hadn’t added to their social circle in five years. At CityFam we believe that you actually have to get out of the house, to intentionally add to your social circle.
Marta Zaraka author of Growing Young found the ‘soft drivers’ of health included things other than exercise and diet. Studies show that building a strong support network of family and friends lowers mortality risk by about 45 percent and for volunteering, it’s 22 to 44 percent.
The vision of CityFam is to bring these vital social and service events to every city to improve lives and communities. There are currently 4 official CityFam chapters in the United States with more than 12 groups around the world now forming.
