Our Story
It Started With a Missing Connection
Our founder never met their grandparents. They passed away before the founder was born, leaving an empty space where stories, wisdom, and warm Sunday dinners should have been.
That absence sparked a question: How many seniors are sitting in care homes right now, filled with incredible stories but no one to tell them to? How many young people are missing out on the wisdom that only comes from lived experience?
Senior Voices began as one person's search for the grandparent connection they never had. Today, it's become a bridge between hundreds of young people and seniors who light up the moment someone genuinely wants to hear what they have to say.
"Every Thursday at 3 PM, I know Emily will walk through that door with her bright smile. She doesn't come because she has to. She comes because she wants to hear about my life. At 87, that means everything."
— Margaret Chen, Senior Voices participant
Our Mission
To bridge generations through genuine connection, ending loneliness in senior communities while developing empathy and leadership in young people.
