Mac & Cheese offers opportunities to grow community and yourself in environments where you feel comfortable solo and with people you’ve just met, doing things you don’t normally do and that maybe even scare you a bit, where discovery and laughter abound. At the Mac & Cheese core is the belief that the segments which make up our lives – work, friends, romance, personal-development – should be sources of joy and that it’s a good thing to bring together people who share little in common save for the willingness to be open, proactive, and vulnerable. In other words, those who want to live a Life of Yes℠.
