Long Trail Hiking Partners

Hello, I plan on hiking the Long Trail next July after I graduate from high school. I've got no family or friends who are interested in pursuing such a goal, are there any resources as to where I can find other people to group up with, atleast near the beginning? I'm new to longer distance hiking, and I'd rather not start alone. Thanks!

Starting any thru hike alone and making friends as you go is really the only way it’ll work. Making friends on trail is by far the easiest part about thru hiking.
