Houses, House Leads, Sisters

Are House Leads Trained?
Yes, U4U House Leads are trained college students. Many house leads are studying psychology or a related wellness track. Prior to becoming a house lead, background checks, safety training, and crisis support resource training are given to each candidate. Training is overseen or delivered by a trained professional. 

​

How are girls sorted into houses?
Houses are balanced for grade level, diversity and support, not by geography.

​

How are girls assigned a sister?
Sisters are paired to maximize mutual support and growth. Having a sister match is optional and girls may be given the chance to request a older, younger or same age sister match.

​​

What if a girl doesn't get along with her sister?
House leads help mediate, and if needed, reassignments can be made.

​

What if someone leaves a house?
The house continues, and new members may be added.

​

Can users change houses?
Yes, requests are reviewed case by case.

​

Will girls be paired with people they know (like classmates)?
Unless the U4U house is being set up within a school program or a youth group, to protect privacy, sisters are not matched with people from their school or social circles.
