What it is


A six-month series of meetups (October-March) about Leadership and Fun dedicated to Romanian American Teens in the Chicago area.

You have to be 13+ to signup.

This is a unique opportunity to:

  • develop leadership skills,
  • make new friends,
  • have some fun,
  • be part of a uniquely strong community of amazing kids


We meet, we talk, and we have fun. Every month we discuss a different topic of interest, and we may watch some videos and have guided discussions.

At every meetup, we have time to socialize, play games, watch a movie, or we may have a little party.

Who is invited


Do not signup if you are a parent! Young adults should sign up directly!

Any young adult 13+ to 18, passionate about becoming a leader and/or happy to connect with other Romanian American Teens. See one of our previous events:
