The power of one.
We are inspired by long-standing programs that prove the benefits of a 1:1 pairing of an individual with a single volunteer who provides dedicated guidance on a personal level:
But there is an opportunity gap . . .
Many existing programs are for :
We think a lot of other adults can thrive with a little 1:1 guidance:
Wouldn’t it be great if all adults had the opportunity to get this type of help at any stage of life?
But how?
The bay area is bursting with smart, experienced people more than qualified to provide the 1:1 personal guidance that can significantly help another.
It doesn’t require a special certification to meaningfully help another. It just takes someone who has the right experience and the heart. And luckily, there is a ton of experience & heart in the bay area.
ConnectOne now provides a flexible & convenient way for the talented people who live here to find someone who can benefit from & appreciate their help.
A model with busy volunteers in mind.
ConnectOne blends the goals of many traditional non-profit matching programs with the flexibility of an online solution to serve adults in our community.
We understand some of those most qualified to help another have demanding schedules, and want to make volunteering as accessible, efficient, and rewarding as possible.
