Company Description

AFB Social Club NYC (short for founder Amanda-Francesca Bordei) embodies the ethos to Always Feel Brave, particularly for creative women navigating life and college in New York City with limited support. Recognizing the shortcomings of traditional sorority culture—often toxic, expensive, and scarce in NYC schools—AFB Social Club offers a vibrant alternative.

We aim to cultivate a unique space where female college students and emerging leaders in NYC can connect, grow, and empower one another. Our mission is to foster a supportive community, helping members feel less alone in the big city, and to build a robust, lifelong job network. AFB Social Club is dedicated to connecting future generations of leaders across various sectors.
