Project Kindness - Intergenerational Connection Program
Project Kindness connects older adults (65+) with younger volunteers for meaningful conversations about kindness and life experiences. Seniors share their memories of kindness while building friendships with college students or other volunteers. The program helps fight loneliness and brings different generations together. Meetings happen weekly over 10 sessions. The program is based on research showing that acts of kindness help both mental and physical health. It creates a ripple effect where kindness spreads to others in the community.
Most people want to be part of something. They just don't know where to start. That's not a motivation problem. It's a navigation problem.
