Shupin Social Club

A connection to community is vital to everyone’s well-being.

The Shupin Social Club is a group of neurodiverse young adults who come together weekly to meet, socialize, and have fun in the community. Social Club activities take place either in person in the Bay Area or online. All of our events are inspired by the interests of the members. Club members feel included, build self-esteem, gain self-confidence, and create friendships that last a lifetime.

Holiday Get-Togethers

At the Shupin Social Club, we create ritual and meaning as we embrace the holidays and seasons.  We celebrate the Jewish holidays together and enjoy latkes at Hanukkah, apples, and honey for the New Year, and a Family Seder during Passover.   Individuals of all backgrounds are invited and welcome to join our celebrations.
