FAQs

  • Your group of like-minded Filipinas(x's) in your local city. Each city chapter organizes get togethers and meet ups unique to their city/ area. This is your place to meet new friends of Filipina background, share your own ideas, and form community and lasting friendships!

  • The FOTR City Chapters are Filipina-led but ALL are welcome. You can join the FOTR chapter in your local area if you identify as a Pinay and/or are interested in exploring your Filipina/x heritage with other like-minded folks.

  • Joining the city chapter is free! We want to keep this group accessible to all. Just note that some meet ups might require a small cost for a group activity depending on the plans of the day (coffee hang outs, museum tours, movies tickets, ect)

  • It's the best when our community members are involved with planning and hosting the meet ups. Reach out to Katherine (kat@filipinaontherise.com) to bring your ideas to the table or even plan the next event!
