Expert Guidance
Old Friends Together is a free advisory service dedicated to reducing social isolation and loneliness in elders. We educate and empower groups on how to connect with elders within their communities. We raise awareness about this crisis and, most importantly, partner on ways to solve it.
For Partners
Rather than administering programs directly, we share our expertise and collaborate with local partners who know their communities best. Our partnership model is intentionally chosen to maximize impact.
We help spark these endeavors - and help make sure they last.
