What Recess is

We don’t want to keep you. We want to help you find people worth keeping.

Recess Social is for people who already have jobs and still want a life in the city. It runs like a university with no class: a campus of people in the same stretch of life, and a week that gives you something to do with them.

College works because of proximity. After school that disappears. Recess puts it back in cities where you already live.

The week

A week can look like pilates Monday, Wednesday, and Thursday, pickleball Friday, a hike Saturday morning, and mixers through the week. Fashion nights, golf, brunch, workshops, career fairs. Recess runs clubs and events. Members start clubs too — proposed in the app, approved, then posted.

The Recess app is where you see what’s on and take a spot. Capacity is real. When it’s full, you’re on a waitlist, not squeezed in.

What you belong to

You belong to it — you don’t wander in. Spots are capped. The pin goes out to members, not the internet. Founding members get the first semester free.

Later: gym access, restaurant perks, a shot at tickets as those land. Phase one is the people and the calendar. That’s the point.

Who it’s for

People who already have jobs and still want a life in the city. Companies can offer it as a benefit. Restaurants, gyms, and venues get members who actually show up.
