Affinity Groups are self-directed groups that focus on a particular hobby/activity or commonality that are aligned with Unity’s mission and vision. As these groups are a part of Unity of The Blue Ridge, they are formally organized by the Unity staff.
We affirm our Affinity Groups will be enriching, vibrant and fun!
