OUR STORY

The Orlando Social Network was born out of a simple idea: that everyone deserves a chance to build meaningful connections in their community. Founded by a resident of Orlando who experienced firsthand the challenges of making friends as adults, he set out to create the kind of group he wished existed when he was new to the area. Since our inception, we've grown into a thriving community, hosting regular events ranging from theme park meetups to adventurous outdoor activities. Our success is measured not just in numbers, but in the countless friendships, shared experiences, and personal growth stories that have emerged from our group.
