Making good friends is hard.

We help Chicago make friends through volunteer work

WITH GOOD HUMANS


Let's go!
HOW IT WORKS

We handle everything.

This is not just another dinner with strangers.
Our approach is grounded in research on what actually makes friendships last.

Tell us about yourself.

Share your availability, neighborhood, and causes you'd show up for.

We find your people.

We match you with a core group of 10 to 15 people based on what research shows actually matters.

In return, we ask for a $20 donation for the nonprofit we're volunteering with to RSVP to an event. That's it. We make nothing.

Show up. Connect. Repeat.

You'll get one invitation based on your location and schedule. No overwhelming options so you can focus on connecting. Every event ends with a social debrief so your group has time to connect.

Event photos coming soon. Share yours to get featured on our site!

WHY THIS EXISTS

We make deeper connections easy.

WHAT PEOPLE SAY

Your group is ready. (Sample invite)

5 people near Lakeview want friends to take a walk with when the weather gets better. Here's a bit about them:

  • Most are in their early 30s
  • One is really good at sewing, another is secretly proud of her parallel parking skills. A few want to learn how to cook.

Your $20 donation applies each time you RSVP to an event.

We're intentional about who joins, so it can take up to 2 weeks to find the right fit.

GOOD TO KNOW
Every dollar goes directly to the nonprofits we volunteer with that day. The donation also keeps everyone accountable. Spots are limited, so act fast!

You get an event invitation based on your location, schedule, and how quickly we can find a good match. Once you get one, please use the link to RSVP with your donation as soon as you can, as spots are very limited and customized to you.

Then, spend a few hours with good humans volunteering, and stick around for guided conversations. How often you meet depends on your group's availability. The activity changes each time, but your people stay the same.

Your group counts on you, but if you need to cancel, just let them know 48 hours before.

You'll be matched with a core group of about 10 to 15 people. Because spots are limited, you'll only see 5 to 7 at each event. Some faces will be familiar. Others will be new. Over time, you'll get to know the whole group.

After each event, everyone can rate their matches to fine-tune the mix. If something feels off, just tell us. No awkward conversations. No hard feelings. You're not just joining a group. You're building one.
