Mission
Sweet Tea & Chai Society is an initiative based in a southern coastal town, aiming to unite teens and the wider community. Our mission is to combat isolation, loneliness, and divisiveness through shared experiences and conversations, fostering a sense of belonging among participants.
Our Offerings
Teen-Inspired Drinks and Healthy Snacks
Sweet Tea and Chai Society participants will be able to experiment with flavors and create their own recipes for herbal and non-alcoholic drinks. Healthy foods brings people together as they gather around the table.
Fun Attractions
Fun attractions curated to boost the body's chemistry for wellness will be created on a monthly basis. The surprise of each month's new pop-up will create buzz in the community. Will it be ball pits? Mega slip and slides? Haunted houses? Paint splattering? Rage rooms? Visit each month to find out!
