As Colorado faces challenges with social isolation among a rapidly aging population, University of Denver students are participating in a nationwide effort to build connections. Through the Perfect Pair program, student volunteers are matched with older adults to foster meaningful relationships.
The initiative has yielded positive results for both the students and the seniors involved. In addition to the social engagement provided by the matches, the program also incorporates musical elements into the interactions.
