Create real connections within your student community with Tribes
Heyu Tribes offers universities a simple way to enhance student welfare by fostering meaningful, real-life connections. Help students meet new people, combat loneliness, and build a supportive community—all through casual coffee meetups.

How it works
Heyu Tribes makes it easy for students to meet new people in a safe, welcoming environment. With a private Tribe for your university or society, students can connect with others who share similar interests and experiences.
Heyu handles the details, from matching students to suggesting times and places, so students can focus on building friendships that support their well-being.
