Small Groups, Deep Connections
Tribe 12’s Tribes are niche communities that are formed around a common interest or identity.
Our Tribes change all the time to meet the current needs and desires of the young professionals we serve. If a Tribe is no longer working or needed, it will "sunset" or close. We also have Tribes which have been active for years.
