SeniorConnect
SeniorConnect delivers meaningful 30-minute weekly phone conversations to seniors who are isolated and need connection.
We are partnering with Enactus, a business group of college students at University of Houston, and Houston-area high schools. We are partnering with the YMCA, Interfaith Ministries and other organizations to connect with seniors in the Houston area to offer our free opportunity. By March we will be able to offer this resource to more than 300 seniors and train 150 students on extraordinary interpersonal skills.
Testimonials
Claudia Cuanta,
UH Enactus Volunteer
“All I can say is that my experience with Senior Connect was nothing but great. I had the opportunity to learn new things and open myself to new relationships. With this project I had the opportunity to grow, to think outside the box, and leave my comfort zone because I had to talk with someone that I had never met before, and be open to develop new relationships. My time with Mary was amazing and most of all funny. I can say that I was lucky because Mary is a woman full of spirit whose voice and energy has the power of lighting your whole day. We had so many conversations about random aspects of life that I will recall with a smile on my face always!!”
Truitt Williams,
UH Enactus Volunteer
“I am immensely grateful for the opportunity I’ve had this semester to work with Amazing Bond on this program. It was a fulfilling experience to share our time with seniors - especially during such a tumultuous year. I must be clear though too that we weren’t the only ones sharing. Our seniors have lifetimes of knowledge, experiences, and wisdom that touched me as I got to know Paul and his story. I know that we’ve been capable of creating special moments for our seniors, and that they enjoyed this just as much as we have.”
Scott Escalona,
UH Enactus Volunteer
“The SeniorConnect project allowed me to step out of my comfort zone and develop new relationships. I improved my communication skills and got the opportunity to learn from my senior. Juanita and I shared special moments, thus, motivated me to continue to grow our friendship. We both significantly impacted each other’s lives, and I look forward to what’s to come in the future.”
