A real community built on a real belief
DFW Young and Social Club is a passion project founded by Alexi and Marco. It started in late 2021 when Alexi believed, and still believes, that everyone deserves a place to connect authentically. Too many third spaces have ulterior motives, pushing people as customers to sell to rather than building a community that is actually about them. It should just be real people doing things they actually enjoy, together.
Marco joined in early 2022 and saw the opportunity to create something truly accessible for everyone. What started as 10 events a month has grown to 140+ events a month: dance classes, creative workshops, game nights, social mixers, and more, all inside a space dedicated to this community. Five years in, we have welcomed over 45,000 participants, been featured on NBC, and hosted over 2,000 experiences.
Every event, every class, every corner of this community exists for one reason: making culture, connection, and experience accessible to everyone.
