Friendship Starts Here.
Strong women. Solid plans.
OUR MISSION
DC Gals Take on DC was created with one simple goal in mind: to make it easier for women in their 20s and 30s to form real, lasting friendships in a city that can often feel overwhelming and transient. Whether you’re new to Washington, D.C., or simply looking to expand your circle, our community offers a welcoming space to connect, grow, and thrive.
Through thoughtfully planned events - ranging from brunches and workout classes to happy hours, book clubs, and seasonal adventures - we help women break out of their routines and build relationships grounded in support, shared interests, and fun.
We believe that friendship is one of the most important parts of adulthood and that finding your people shouldn’t be hard.
At DC Gals Take on DC, we’re more than just a social group - we’re a sisterhood rooted in kindness, curiosity, and inclusivity. No cliques, no judgment, just a welcoming space where all women can show up as their full selves and build lasting friendships that go beyond the occasional brunch.
IMPACTFUL STORIES
"I found DC Gals in January 2025 after some of the loniest and toughest months of my life. Being fresh out of college in a new city is hard, and I was struggling to make a community like I had in college. But finding DC Gals felt like a godsend! I met some amazing girls who share my interests and love to make memories, and finally feel like I have a home base here - and that means more than you could ever know."

"I could not be more grateful for DC Gals! My core friend group formed through DC Gals, and many of the other friends I cherish are from DC Gals as well. I truly don't know where I'd be without it, but I do know that I wouldn't have met the most amazing girls who have impacted me in so many ways!"
Katrina Y.
"I love DC Gals because all the women in the group are consistently working to create community in DC. DC can be a lonely place in your 20's and Carly has done wonderful work in encouraging professional, young women to grow here in the disctrict."
