The E-Pal membership is designed for teens who want to build meaningful, lasting friendships. All members will have background screenings and identity verification done to ensure a safe and supportive environment.
After enrollment, you and your parent or guardian will have an initial consultation with our matchmaker. During this meeting, we’ll get to know you—your interests, personality, and background—so we can help you find the right connections and match you with a compatible new friend.
Then, when you're ready, you'll make a payment for an E-Pal, and we will start searching for a compatible match for you. Once we have one, we'll reach out to both you and the match in an introductory email. Matches can be anywhere in the NYC metro area and the United States.

When you're ready for a new friendship and want to request a match, you will make a payment to do so. This will notify us to begin searching. Once found, we’ll exchange contact information in an introductory email to both you and your match so that you can begin getting to know each other. If a coach will be involved in the initial meeting(s), they will make the arrangements.

Our Friendship Coaching sessions are designed to help members build the confidence, communication skills, and social awareness needed to form and maintain meaningful friendships. Led by experienced coaches, each session focuses on practical tools for relationship-building, including body language, active listening, conversational flow, setting expectations, interpreting nonverbal cues, etiquette, and personal presentation. During your initial in-person session, you and your coach will develop a personalized Action Plan tailored to your unique needs and goals. This plan will be updated regularly as you grow, and you'll receive a copy after each session. Coaches may also assist during initial introductions to help ensure a smooth and positive connection. All members participate in coaching on an ongoing, as-needed basis. Please note: Coaching is not included in the standard membership.
