Fit and commitment

I am okay with mixed-language conversation and understand not everyone will have the same English or Korean level.I am open to a group that may include people from somewhat different age ranges or backgrounds.I understand Friends Circle is a one-month small-group program, and I will make a good-faith effort to participate if selected.I agree to respectful conduct and understand that Friends Circle is friendship-oriented, not a dating-oriented service.

We will review applications carefully so the first pilot groups feel warm, practical, and alive.

What we are optimizing for

• Good schedule fit
• Manageable local travel
• Healthy language balance
• People who actually want friendship, not just attendance
