Dating Apps Are Dialing Up In-person Events As Gen Z Struggle To Build Connections
It may come as no surprise that Gen Z, the online generation, are increasingly struggling with loneliness — but an unlikely source is coming to their aid.
Dating app giant Hinge on Thursday announced a $1 million fund for social groups in New York, Los Angeles and, for the first time, in London to put on free or affordable social events for young people, in a global expansion of their One More Hour social impact initiative, which first launched in the U.S. last year.
The groups will put on a range of activity-based events, ranging from food, nature and reading, for young people to connect in-person and build friendships.
