For over 65 years, Newcomers & Friends at YWCA Princeton have welcomed people to our community from around the world, nation, and state.

Newcomers & Friends is a welcoming club designed to help you “Bloom Where You Are Planted,” whether you’ve moved across the street or across the globe. Through a variety of activities, projects, and social events, members can explore new interests, have fun, and build lasting friendships. Our Interest Groups, which meet regularly and are shaped by our members’ passions, are at the heart of what we do—if you don’t see a group that fits your interests, you can start one! Join us today to connect with others and become part of a vibrant, supportive community.

Who are we?

No! You don’t have to live in Princeton to be a part of Newcomers & Friends. Members come from all over including Mercer, Somerset, Middlesex, and Bucks Counties. Whether you are a seasoned resident or new to our area, Newcomers & Friends welcome you to bloom where you are planted!
