Peer supporters are paired with individuals looking for support through a unique matching algorithm that considers preferences and availability. Support seekers receive a recommended list of peer supporters to choose from. Support seekers then send a request for a match to the volunteer they have chosen. Before being matched, a peer supporter can review the individual's profile and accept the invitation to start a supportive relationship.
