Facilitating Friendships.
Loneliness and disconnection are everywhere. According to the former U.S. Surgeon General, half of Americans are lonely. The good news is, we already know the solution: meaningful connection. And we’ve developed a simple, repeatable process for creating it.
ProjectConnect is a 6-session program that helps participants get to know each other, and form the foundation for 5 fulfilling friendships. Going through the program has been shown to reduce loneliness, increase student and employee satisfaction, and best of all, participants love it!
If you want to build connection in your school, college, or workplace, it’s as simple as 1,2,3.
Become a Certified ProjectConnect Facilitator. Attend or host a certification training to prepare one or more individuals from your organization to lead ProjectConnect groups.
Run ProjectConnect groups & facilitate friendships. Facilitators lead groups of 5 (or so) participants through our easy-to-follow, evidence-based, 6-session curriculum. Group participants get to know each other, develop positive relationships, and build community!
Repeat indefinitely! Once you become a certified facilitator, you can continue to facilitate ProjectConnect groups anytime, anywhere.
