Our Work
Commit to Connect is a cross-sector initiative, launched by the U.S. Administration for Community Living, to fight social isolation and loneliness by helping people connect and engage to build the social connections they need to thrive.
Strategy:
- Increase awareness and availability of programs and strategies that address social isolation and loneliness and grow social connections
- Build and strengthen collaboration with current and potential partners to leverage our collective efforts, resources, innovations and activities to increase social connection in the U.S.
Key efforts include:
- Increase adoption of social connection programs throughout the United States
- Cultivate a Nationwide Network of Champions, an online networking hub, for passionate leaders and innovators dedicated to ending social isolation and loneliness
- Hold specialized events, such as the National Summit to Increase Social Connections
- Strengthen partnerships across national, state and local agencies addressing social isolation
- Develop and provide technical assistance resources that promote greater social connection and reduce social isolation and loneliness
Commit to Connect is funded primarily by the U.S. Administration for Community Living, with additional funding support from the Office of the Assistant Secretary for Health
