Project
Friendship
Copenhagen

Our monthly get-togethers are lightly structured 3-4 hour events designed for deeper connection. 

They happen once per month and involve long walks, picnics in the city or beach in the summer and spring, and movie nights or social dinners in the fall and winter. The days and times change each month, but don’t worry—you’ll get all the details when registration opens.

The Structure:
They are guided at the start and end, with space for relaxed conversations in between. We start with an intro followed by ice breakers, so you’re never left wondering what to do or where to go. We handle the structure—you just show up, be present, and have a good time.

The Community:
Every event has a mix of new people and OGs—our OGs know the ropes, and we’re all intentional about making sure everyone feels included.

We’re intentional about making sure everyone feels included, but it’s up to you to be open and get the most out of it. We take radical ownership for creating the community we want to be a part of.

Volunteering: a Step-By-Step Guide

To make a meaningful impact with Project Friendship, it’s essential to understand what we truly need and how that aligns with your personal goals. Here’s an updated volunteering guide to help you explore how you can contribute meaningfully to our community.

Step 1. Read Through This Guide.

Take the time to carefully read this guide to understand our mission, values, and current needs. It will help you see how your unique skills can benefit the community.

Step 2. Become an Active Member of Our Community.

a) Attend Monthly Events: The first and most crucial way to support Project Friendship is by attending our events and actually living in the community. Because you can’t really help us grow if you don’t know or love it.  

Why this matters: To support us effectively, it’s important to understand the essence of our events, the community we’re building, and the spirit of Project Friendship. It will help you gain insight into where your unique contribution could fit in.

b) Engage in Our Online Community: Our community extends beyond in-person events through our Facebook group. This is where members share plans for smaller meetups, stay connected, and build friendships. Engage in discussions, share resources, start conversations about relevant topics.

c) Attend a Mini Social or Host Your Own: a key way to support Project Friendship is by hosting a mini social. Hosting shows your commitment to building community, shows leadership and helps create opportunities for others to connect, fostering an inclusive environment.

Step 3. Understand Our Needs & Your Goals. 

Now that you’re an active member of our community, it’s time to think about how you’d like to contribute. Do you have a fresh idea that could enhance Project Friendship, or would you prefer to help with one of our current needs? Choose what resonates most with your skills, passions, and goals.

a) Share Your Own Idea:

If you’ve been inspired by your time in the community and have a unique idea to enhance Project Friendship, we want to hear it! Whether it’s a big project or a small contribution, your perspective and skills could bring something truly special to our mission. Don’t hold back—your ideas matter.

b) Help With Our Ongoing Needs:

If you’d rather jump into an existing area of need, here are some impactful areas and ways you can contribute:

Step 4. Clarify Your Proposal.

When the time comes to pitch your idea, be specific, show impact, and outline your approach. Remember:

DOs:

• Be specific and clear about your idea.
• Focus on how it benefits the community.
• Highlight your relevant skills and flexibility.

DON’Ts:

• Avoid vague offers like, “How can I help?”
• Don’t overpromise or focus on self-promotion.
