Join a Cohort

Making friends in Victoria can be tough—take the struggle out of building community with Cohorts!

Take a short quiz to share your interests, and we’ll match you with a group of similar people. Over two months, you & your Cohort will meet every two weeks for fun, planned events based on your interests!  

Cohorts are designed to build meaningful connections through regular interactions over a longer period of time. And we know it works—we've watched as new friendships & communities are built throughout the Cohort experience.

Find a mini-community

We love events (that's kind of our thing around here). But building real friendships at events can be tricky without regular meetups.

Thankfully, there's lots of groups in Victoria that meet up regularly to do different things, and we've built the full list!

Whether you like sports, cozy art events, dungeons & dragons campaigns, or anything between, we've got something you'll be interested in.

We're building community
in Victoria

When we moved to Victoria, we had a really difficult time making friends and building a community around ourselves. Events were a great way to meet people, but it was hard finding events with so many different platforms to search through. They also didn't address the core issue; getting out into the community, not just to one-off events.

That's why we built LampPost - to build Victoria's community platform & make it easier than ever to find events, clubs, gathering, friends, and a sense of belonging in the city.
