Joy Roberts is a passionate entrepreneur, curriculum designer, speaker, teacher, character development advocate, and co-founder of Friendzy. Witnessing the growing disconnect among children in an increasingly digital world, Joy and her co-founder, Julie Widman, set out to address the social crisis affecting today’s youth.
In a world where loneliness, isolation, and unkind words are commonplace, she is committed to equipping a generation of students on how to be really good friends. By integrating research-backed, whole-school programming into both faith-based and public schools, Joy guides Friendzy toward fostering character development while strengthening school communities.
With a Bachelor’s in Business Management and Marketing from Washington State University, a Master’s in Theology from Western Seminary, and a Doctorate in Educational Leadership from Marymount University, Joy combines her expertise in education, leadership, and faith to empower students, educators, and families with the tools needed to build meaningful, lasting relationships.
