Building Belonging One Friday at a Time.

Some of the strongest communities are built through simple moments of connection. A conversation. A shared meal. New relationships. Time spent together.

That's the idea behind Second Fridays.

Hosted by United Way of Forsyth County's Affinity Groups, Second Fridays is a monthly gathering that brings people together for an evening of music, food, conversation, and fellowship in a welcoming and inclusive environment. It is a place to meet new people, reconnect with familiar faces, expand your personal and professional network, and enjoy time with others who care about making Forsyth County a stronger community.

At United Way of Forsyth County, we believe meaningful change happens when people come together. Every conversation, every new connection, and every shared experience helps build the relationships that strengthen our community. Second Fridays brings that belief to life by creating opportunities to connect, celebrate the diversity of our community, and inspire collaboration that extends beyond one evening.

Whether this is your first United Way event or you have been involved for years, we invite you to join us and be part of a new monthly tradition that celebrates community and reminds us that we are stronger together.

Come for the music and conversation. Stay for the connections that make our community stronger.

Admission is free, and registration is encouraged.
