Meetings are typically held the first Sunday of every month at 6pm EST. While you’re not required to attend each meeting, we highly encourage it! We have a variety of special guests attend to network and speak. We also try to host them at fun, interactive spaces so you can get to know your fellow YDs in a positive environment!

HRYD dues are $10 annually. You can pay via cash, check, or online via ActBlue.
