Barnabas Matching

Mentor and mentee connection workflow

Barnabas coordinates matching, introductions, and follow-up without making the process feel mechanical.

Barnabas Matching combines survey intake, careful match communication, and light-touch check-ins so participants know what is happening at each stage of the relationship.

Communication model

Email carries the detailed context: invitations, match summaries, introductions, and longer guidance.

SMS is reserved for short operational updates, reminders, and simple check-ins after explicit consent.

Participants can reply STOP to opt out of texts and HELP to get support instructions.

Public actions

Start with consent, then keep the higher-context details in email.

Barnabas only uses SMS after a participant affirmatively opts in. The consent form is separate from general participation so people can choose the channel that works for them.
