Kids & Teens Virtual Connection-Making
Sometimes we have to discover people we can effortlessly show up with, just as we are — before we can discover our true selves. Meaningful, authentic connection is essential for everyone’s health.
Connect in whatever way works for you. Gaming together. Grabbing a Zoom. Sending each other memes. Listen to music. Craft or make art. There’s no one “right” way to socialize.
This is a virtual connection-making program, open to all kids & teens age 4-17. Participants can live anywhere!
We’ll match you up with the person or people who share your interests. It’s like finding a pen pal — except you have tons of choices of how to interact, the “ground rules” are understood, and they’ve been pre-screened to be someone who loves what you love!
We currently offer this program at no cost to participants. To support the staffing resources required to arrange these customized connections for kids, please consider making a tax-deductible donation of any size.

The next round of friend-matching will take place in January 2025
Here’s what kids and teens are saying
“It’s been really great! We send each other a lot of memes and TikTok’s. We listen to similar music, too, so that’s really cool! She’s really great and I think it’s a super good match. I’m glad we found each other.”
“She sends me a lot of photos of her drawings and I show her the crochet projects I’ve been doing! You find out the other person’s interests when you get matched so…it’s a lot easier to get to know them!”
“Playing Minecraft with my friend is fun. I get excited when I play with them. I’m glad I made a friend.”
“It’s so fun to find a friend who likes what I like. We have a lot in common.”
