About Friendzy /// Friendzy is a female-founded non-profit organization committed to teaching the current generation of students how to be really good friends. A few years into developing our programming, we discovered the fancy term for this relationally-based work is character development (more on that story some other time). Friendzy is on a mission to help students develop vital emotional intelligence and social skills like empathy, resilience, self-esteem, goal setting, and perspective taking. Our comprehensive programming provides classroom curriculum for teachers, workbooks for students, professional development for the full school staff, and family and community resources designed to help parents and caring adults continue the Friendzy at home. We offer both an ideologically neutral and a biblical version of our curriculum, which means we partner with non-public faith-based schools, private non-sectarian schools, charter schools, and public schools. We’re a small and relatively fresh organization, which translates to a scrappy, diverse, agile, multi-talented, and FUN team. More than anything, we are a passionate crew determined to walk the talk when it comes to relationships, and we are ready to open our arms wide to our next team member. Additional Information: We are committed to building a diverse and inclusive team that reflects the communities we serve. We strongly encourage applications from individuals who bring unique cultural backgrounds and perspectives, including BIPOC, Latinx, AAPI, and dual language-speaking candidates. All qualified candidates will receive consideration without regard to characteristics protected by applicable local, state, or federal law, such as race, color, sex, age, religion, national origin, physical or mental disability, pregnancy, marital status, veteran or military status, genetic information, or sexual orientation.
