About ConnectOne

Our vision is to be an ongoing platform where any adult with a learning need can ask for help from someone in the broader community. With the social, educational, and economic diversity in the bay area, we especially want to be a place for people who have a higher goal, and simply lack access to the right people who can help.  We want to be a place where any adult can have a voice – and in doing so, inspire more volunteers with a transparent & easy process.  By personalizing every need upfront, we hope to create great matches for limitless learning topics.

We hope to give people the chance to meet, work with, & better understand someone in a circle different from their own. By enabling these connections, our community gets stronger, one person at a time.
