About Us

Meet At The Shed™ is a place where men and women can come together around common interests.  We have a Men's Shed and a She Shed option.

Based on a concept originally developed in Australia called Men's Shed, the chapters provide safe environments where community members can work together on projects of interest.  Staying active and engaged, individulas use their talents and skills while establishing new friendships.  Research shows staying active, particularly as we get older, provides both physical and mental health benefits.

The University of Georgia is piloting the first chapter in Union County.  The plan is to open additional chapters around the state.
