Hello,

I am moving to Scranton next month for a job offer. I would like to meet people in the area. I do not have any friends or family within in3 hours of the area and I am moving to Scranton by myself. How can I get involved with the community? Are people generally welcoming in Scranton? Where can I meet a young crowd? I am a 23 yearold black female. I am also an introvert,so meeting people is a little difficult for me. I am looking for volunteer or social groups in the areas, but I am upfor anything! I do not need to be aroundpeople who share the same interest. Ijust want to meet people.

A future welcome to you! Now, why not wait to see the social networking you may get from your new job? Best advice I can give you is when it comes to NEPA, expect everything and nothing and you will not be disappointed. Best of luck.

Look into Scranton area meetup groups. Link below.

There are also websites for black singles. See below.

Scranton Black Dating Site, Scranton Black Singles, Scranton Black Personals at PerfectMatch.com


The Woodlands Inn in Wilkes-Barre is known for its young professionals singles scene. Scranton has a number of coffee places downtown where singles congregate, if you'd rather not go to a bar or lounge.

Meetup.com is credited. It's how I made lasting friendships during my year in the Valley.

Thank you everyone for your feedback. I most likely will look for a local volunteer group.
