Junto: A Meetup for Men Building a Real Inner Circle

Tired of surface-level connections?

Ready to move past the usual small talk and build meaningful, lasting friendships grounded in shared experience?

If you’ve been craving deeper connection and want to meet decent, like-minded guys who are also looking to build real friendships - this is for you.

Join us for a casual kickoff event for Junto, a new project in NYC for men who are intentional about friendship and want to build a community rooted in mutual support, real friendships, and real-world experiences.

This is a low-key, no-pressure evening to meet other men, experience what a Junto Chapter feels like, and see if our approach to friendship is right for you.

Our Story

Inspired by Benjamin Franklin's original "Junto," a club he formed with his friends for mutual improvement. Their goal was to debate ideas, support each other's ventures, and become better men, together. We aim to bring that spirit of collaborative growth and brotherhood to modern NYC.
