CONNECT at UCLA
CONNECT is a student-led initiative focused on building meaningful intergenerational relationships, supporting older adults, and creating a stronger sense of care and community through service.
Why I started CONNECT
I created CONNECT because I care deeply about building stronger relationships between students and older adults. The project is centered on companionship, dignity, and small acts of support that can make a real difference.
Through CONNECT, I want to create a space where students can give back in a meaningful way while helping reduce isolation and supporting wellness in the elderly community.
