Unending Promise Game Night
Unending Promise Game Night is our flagship activity and perfect for someone new to UP. Individuals ages 15 and older meet to play all kinds of board games and card games while socializing. We have a collection of close to 4 dozen games to play, and guests are welcome to bring their own as well. We provide beverages. Guests are welcome to bring a snack to share.
This group started in 2014.
Meet UP & Hang Out
Meet UP & Hang Out is designed for individuals ages 15 & UP. We meet on Fridays at the home of our friends at the Autism Society of Berks County in Temple, PA. Each time we meet, we enjoy pizza followed by an activity like karaoke, games, or crafts. We provide the pizza and drinks. Guests are welcome to bring a side dish to share and, of course, their voices!

Meet UP for Teens
Meet UP for Teens is a parent-run social group that provides teens with special needs an opportunity to connect, make friends, and socialize in a relaxed and supportive environment. Each session includes casual activities, games, and time to connect with friends. Parents stay on site and are welcome to socialize too!

Meet UP & Eat
Our group loves to eat, so Meet UP & Eat is a favorite activity. This is open to all ages and pay-your-own-way. We get together, share a meal, and socialize. It is always a lot of fun. We like to visit Infinito's Pizza Buffet, Moe's Southwestern Grill, Plum Creek Farm Market & Creamery, and Wyomissing Restaurant & Bakery.
Fun Fact: This was our very first activity in 2012.
