Remember when making friends was as simple as a tagging each other on the playground? One tap, and suddenly, you had a new best friend. Somewhere along the way, that effortless connection got lost — but PLURground is here to bring it back. As Boston’s first in-person accelerator for community builders, we’re on a mission to make real world friendships, support networks, and thriving communities easy, sustainable, and full of peace, love, unity, and respect. Whether you’re creating a gathering, a movement, or a space where people truly belong, we’re here to help you fund it, grow it, and make it last.

Thank you to SMFA SGA and Tufts TCU for co-hosting this event!
