A Cluster is a group of individuals, led by a volunteer Cluster coordinator ("CC"), which gives people the opportunity to meet other people with similar interests in a welcoming environment. Clusters help people who are new in town, or new to the Jewish community, interact in an intimate, informal atmosphere.
Clusters are theme based - by geographic location, profession, hobby, interest, etc. - and are limited only by your creativity. On your initial sign up, you can join only one Cluster, however, if there are other Clusters that you find interesting, you can log out and re-sign in to join other Clusters. Please limit the Clusters you join only to one you will actively participate in, as space in Clusters is limited. Clusters last for four to six months. At that time, you will be able to sign up for a new Cluster or start one of your own.
Be a Cluster Coordinator ("CC")!
If you don't see a cluster that grabs you...start your own! We will help you get started and all you need is an email address and the desire to meet others like yourself. You may be wondering about the time commitment associated with becoming a CC. It should take 4 to 6 hours per month on average. This time would be dedicated to a "welcome call" to Cluster members, emails about your "Cluster get-together" or other Cluster-related events, and time planning your monthly Cluster get-together. If you're interested in becoming a CC, please click below and fill out the required fields. Someone will follow up with you shortly!
