Building Meaningful Connections Within Our Community |
Quills to Connect is a student-run pen-pal program at UCLA that connects student volunteers with senior citizens in the LA community. We partner with several senior homes in the Los Angeles area to create a pen-pal system that matches a senior with a college student who shares similar interests. Our mission is to build meaningful connections between the youth and seniors through the familiar mediums of letter writing. We hope to improve mental health by combatting loneliness within the geriatric population. |
