WHY PROSOCIAL?
A different approach to discovering friendships
Unlike other apps where you read profiles to determine if you're the right fit, ProSocial does the work for you. We find groups of people who match with your specific personality and interests, then we provide opportunities for you to get to know them in-person.
Introduction
Alex Lang, CEO
Let me introduce myself! My name is Alex Lang. I have lived in Arlington Heights for the past 10 years and worked as the head pastor of First Presbyterian Church of Arlington Heights. I recently left churchwork to create ProSocial because I care deeply about friendship, community and want to meaningfully address the rising epidemic of loneliness.
What's Involved?
REGISTRATION
Visit prosocialapp.com and fill out the registration by October 15.
GROUPS
Following sign up, you will receive an email with your specific group by October 19.
TIMING
Your group figures out a date/time that works for everyone. The outing should be a minimum of 1 hour.
INTERACTION
Your group may simply gather and talk over coffee, drinks, or a meal or they can engage in activities such as playing a board/card game or going for a walk or hike (please avoid highly physical activities such as sports). Whatever the activity, the entire group must agree.
VENUE
You can gather anywhere agreed upon by the group, as long as the venue is not overly noisy or distracting. Below are some good options:
​
Restaurant (breakfast, lunch or dinner)
Coffee House
Outdoors
FEEDBACK
After the outing, each group member will log into the ProSocial App to provide feedback about the experience. You will be asked whether anyone in the group is someone with whom you would like form a friendship. Preferably we would like this feedback in 1-2 days of the outing so that your impressions are fresh.
