About
Get off your phone and into a room together
Project Third Space builds intentional communities by bringing like-minded people together in person around shared interests, goals, and life experiences.
The internet and social media moved our social lives online — and left us lonelier for it. We organize members into local communities built around friendship and shared interests, then bring them together in person.
Our first community
ADB Fraternity
Project Third Space launched in March 2026 with ADB Fraternity, a pilot community for gay men focused on personal and professional growth. Like all Project Third Space communities, the Fraternity is a private, peer-led fraternal and civic organization.
Each member belongs to a home chapter. Chapters host one to two signature social events per month, from intimate dinner parties to larger themed evenings with guest speakers and programming.
LAActive
Los Angeles
Our west coast chapter, from the hills to the shore.
Activity clubs
Members create or join activity clubs organized around a shared hobby, interest, goal, or lifestyle. Clubs are member-led and meet on their own schedule, giving every member a smaller, tighter-knit group within the larger community.
- Hiking ClubMonthly day trips from New York (seasonal)
- Ski ClubTrips every other week in ski season, from New York and Los Angeles
- Film ClubScheduled screenings and discussions
- FoodiesBimonthly visits to ethnic enclaves and off-the-beaten-path restaurants
Members are encouraged to start new clubs whenever there's interest.

Questions
Membership FAQ
How do I join?
Membership is by invitation. Once two current members have nominated you, we'll invite you to apply. Each application is reviewed individually.
Are payments recurring?
No. Each payment covers one membership period: one month for Basic, Plus, and Premium, or two months for the Founders Circle. Nothing renews automatically. Before each new period we send you a payment link, and if you don't pay it, your membership simply ends when the current period does.
What is the Founders Circle?
The Founders Circle is a two-month membership paid in a single payment. It covers all events and all activity clubs, with no RSVP required. It's designed for members who want full immersion from day one.
Can I change my tier?
Yes. Tell us before your next period starts and we'll send you a payment link for the new tier.
What are Early Bird and Last Minute prices?
They're promotional prices for the same memberships listed above. Early Bird pricing rewards early sign-ups, and Last Minute pricing applies to sign-ups close to an event. Benefits don't change, and the price on your payment link is the price you pay.
How do I RSVP for an event?
Your RSVP is confirmed when your dues for that period are paid. Founders Circle members don't need to RSVP at all.
Can I get a refund?
Yes, within 7 days of paying if you haven't attended a member event in that period. The details are in our refund and cancellation policy.
Is my payment information secure?
Card payments are processed by our payment processor. We never see or store your full card number on our servers.
