• Food & Schmoozes: A monthly in-person event that happens at the Footsteps space – each Food and Schmooze has a different theme and activity that provides a casual environment for members to hang out and enjoy each others’ company.
• Ad hoc opportunities for connection: Footsteps will occasionally host Food & Schmoozes in other locations where members are concentrated, including Rockland County.

Family + Second Gen Programming

• Virtual and In-Person Social Events: Footsteps offers programming specific to families and children of members including a summer trip to Coney Island, and events specific to different holidays.

Peer Support + Leadership

• Cohort meetings: Our LGBTQ+ Cohort offers opportunity to connect with members of shared experiences.
• Connect Over Coffee: This is a one-time meeting with another member, with no long-term commitment necessary. This can be a great opportunity to schmooze with a fellow traveler about life, family, Footsteps, and everything in between.
• Interfaithless: A monthly peer support group that brings together fellow travelers who have left all kinds of insular religions to chat about all aspects of this experience, from relationships with family and friends to mental health and more.
