During the pandemic, I co-founded Intrepide, a support group designed to help young people navigate the challenges of that time. What started as a small project among six friends quickly grew into a community of nearly 200 people by the end.
The idea was born out of a shared feeling of isolation and uncertainty during the lockdowns. My friends and I wanted to create a space where young adults like us could find a place to connect with others facing similar struggles, and have an outlet to share their experiences. Together, we organized virtual meetups, workshops, and discussions that encouraged personal growth and emotional well-being.
Seeing the group expand so rapidly was incredibly rewarding—it showed how much people needed a space like this. Intrepide brought together individuals who might not have found support elsewhere, creating a sense of belonging and solidarity during one of the most difficult times in recent history.
