Trying to help my son find something that actually clicks (13)

Hello everyone, looking for some hobby recommendations for my son. He’s honestly a great kid, A,B student no behavior issues. He’s very intelligent and witty (can be a smart ass but he’s 13 lol)

We’ve tried a few different activities. Jujitsu, chess and he was in AllStar Kids Karate for a few years before he asked to quit because he had no passion for it, which is super understandable. He also has no interest in sports. So its tough for me to find something for him.

My oldest son plays travel, rec and high school baseball. But when it comes to my youngest he’s a polar opposite.

He sings in choir at school, he likes crafting. Taught himself to crochet, makes molds of plants lol he’s just on his own path. (Hes also a big gamer but so is my oldest)

He’s expressed interests in playing guitar which is fine and will be the next thing but its another solo hobby that isolates him. I think more than anything im wondering if there’s a space where he can work in a group setting where he can learn to accomplish something while building healthy relationships. A place that can feel like his own. Where he can stand on his own and have his own version of community.

Any suggestions?
