Friendship Institute

Our bold mission is to help ten million people build deeper, life-giving friendships.

We combine science and soul to make friendship a skill, not a stroke of luck. At the core of our work is Friendship IQ—a practical framework that blends emotional, social, moral, and relational intelligence. It helps people become better friends on purpose.

Through our workshops, the Friendship Matters podcast, and tools like the Civility Index™, we equip busy professionals with research-backed tools to create meaningful, lasting friendships that support well-being, connection, and belonging.
