What is a Kindly Human Peer? 

Our life experiences allow us to gain knowledge that can be valuable to others.  You have a unique opportunity as a Peer to support others who are facing similar challenges. Peers on our platform offer up their real-life experiences paired with some compassionate words of encouragement to help others feel more seen and heard.  This is a one-time project to pay it forward.  Helping others couldn’t be easier!

Become a Kindly Human Peer.

Simply record your own experiences for the Kindly Human platform in the form of a story. 

After answering questions to populate your peer profile, the recording is done directly on the Kindly Human platform.

Here is an example of a successful experience recording broken down into its four parts. It is answering the prompt for Coursework:

Introduction: When I started college, my first year went pretty much the same way my High School classes had gone. That second year was when the trouble started.

Middle: Coursework started to pile up and I found out my grades were slipping. I talked to my professor about some extra credit opportunities and went to the library for group tutoring a couple times a week. I knew I was falling behind, but I was so overwhelmed that I felt unmotivated and discouraged.

End: Now that I’m in my third year, what's working for me the most is making a schedule. Instead of studying whenever I feel like it, I set a timer and hang out for an hour then work for an hour every weekday. I’ve been doing so much better lately and it’s really helped my stress level.

Encouragement: When you’re super stressed out, it’s hard to self-motivate. I’ve been there too. Just remember that you’re capable of figuring out study habits that work for you and be patient with yourself! You got this!
