Building Community, One Event at a Time — With Your Support

If you're a guest who has attended one of our events — whether it was a trivia night, a game night, a Climate Café, a movie screening, or a volunteer project — you've experienced the Marine Park Young Adults Association in action.

The Marine Park Young Adults Association (MPYAA) is a grassroots, independent nonprofit led entirely by young adults who started the group to change the social scene for young adults in southern Brooklyn — one event at a time. We exist to create meaningful social opportunities for people ages 18–35 to connect, collaborate, and give back to their community. From casual gatherings to civic projects, we are building a stronger, more connected Marine Park and beyond.

We receive no government funding — every event, program, and initiative is made possible by the generosity of our members and donors like you. Your contribution directly supports event costs such as venue rentals, supplies, refreshments, promotional materials, and equipment.

Invest In A Local Organization That Brings People Together

As costs rise and community spaces become harder to access, it's more important than ever to invest in a local organization that brings people together. Whether it's $5, $25, $100, or whatever amount feels right for you, every donation helps us host more events, reach more people, and strengthen our neighborhood connections.
