BigandMini - eliminating Senior and Youth Isolation

Saw an article about this online. A program that connects older people with younger people for conversations....online or on the phone. 

 

"We’re a platform designed by University of Texas at Austin students designed to reduce senior and youth isolation while providing mentorship and mutual friendship. Although we were born in response to the increased loneliness and separation caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, our goal of developing connections across generations and allowing for easier volunteering is everlasting."

 

"Based on the information from your sign up form, we will automatically match you with a Mini who has similar interests and availability (don’t worry, they won’t get any personal details besides your first name and any common interests)."
