Rhode Island Sapphics was established in 2024 by Olivia & her partner Sarah.

Sapphics meet for coffee, crafts, museum trips, beach days, literary society, nights out, games, and more!

We also host virtual events like speed friending and facilitate an online community through Discord.

Our events are 18+, with the exception of bar/happy hour events which are 21+.
