WELCOME TO HOLDETTE 👯♀️
Helping you find friends that hold space for when life after college is less live, love, laugh and more existential crisis, terrible Hinge date, emergency Trader Joes run.
WHAT IS HOLDETTE?
We know how lonely it can be to feel like you have to navigate post-grad life all by yourself. Holdette is the way for you to meet other recent grads in your city.
Gather monthly for 90 minutes in the home of a fellow new grad to chat about everything from finding belonging, to setting boundaries, and building relationships.
-
Holdette community groups exist to bridge the gap from college to adulthood. Our groups gather once a month to have conversations about topics most top of mind during those years right after college.
-
Community groups are available to those who identify as women and are 0-5 years out of college. We are not accepting current college students at this time.
-
Groups will meet at the home of their host. Location details are available on each group page. The exact location will be provided once you join the community.
-
Our conversations are for recent-grads by recent-grads. We have a crew of trained hosts who are all 1-5 years out of college and excited to navigate post-grad life with you! Want to be a host? Submit our form below!
-
Holdette is free to join. The only thing we’ll ask you to contribute to is snacks for your group which members provide potluck style. This helps us keep costs low, and membership free ◡̈

OUR STORY
HI, I’M SARAH 👋
I graduated college in 2020 and spent the next year living with my family. When I moved to New York City in 2021 I longed for the deep friendships I had built in college. I started Holdette because building that kind of relationship without the structure of college can be so challenging. My hope is that the gals you meet in Holdette will be women you can rely on as you transition from college to adulthood and beyond, they have been for me.
