How It Works

Register

Teens aged 14-17 begin their journey by completing our detailed registration form. This is where you’ll share your interests, cultural background, and location. We collect information about your hobbies, favorite subjects, and heritage. This detailed information helps us create meaningful matches that go beyond basic demographics.

Matching

Our dedicated team carefully pairs individuals through a thoughtful matching process that takes into account a variety of information, including common interests and African heritage. By considering multiple factors, we create connections that foster meaningful and engaging conversations from the very start.

Connect

Once matched, participants embark on their journey of cultural exchange and friendship. Communication happens through text exchanges, allowing for regular updates and conversations about daily life. Monthly video calls provide face-to-face interaction, helping to build stronger bonds while accommodating different time zones and schedules. This structured yet flexible approach ensures consistent communication while respecting everyone’s commitments.

Support

We believe in nurturing these valuable connections. Our team conducts monthly check-ins with all participants to ensure positive experiences on both sides. We provide conversation starters and cultural exchange topics to keep discussions engaging and meaningful. This ongoing support helps maintain the momentum of these cross-cultural friendships and ensures both parties are getting the most out of their penpal experience
