Join a LampPost Cohort

Victoria can be a difficult city to make friends in. Join the LampPost community through a Cohort & make finding your community a breeze.

Join a community of likeminded people

LampPost Cohorts are matched based on a simple questionnaire to create an experience catered to your interests and bring together people with similar interests.

1. Apply for a Cohort

Fill out a simple quiz that will sort you into one of our four Cohorts to make sure you're matched with similar people.

2. Attend Cohort events

Events are unique to the interests of each cohort & take place every two weeks for two months. The first events focus on getting everyone introduced and comfortable with each other, while later events build on those initial interactions.

3. Enjoy lasting experiences

By the end of your Cohort, you've been meeting with your crew, consistently, for two months. They're not just your Cohort anymore, but friends that you've built deeper and meaningful relationships with.

made lasting friendships

"It was a great experience being a part of the first Lamppost cohort! I got to meet and connect with a fun group of people over a few weeks. The wide range of activities we did made it easy to learn about people in different settings. I'm hopeful that this cohort thing becomes a regular option for others to try as it is a great way to meet new friends!"
