Foster IRL connection — one hour at a time.
An AI-informed impact initiative mobilizing our generation to spend more time connecting in person.
The Problem
Gen Z gets 1,000 fewer hours of in-person time every year.
Compared to previous generations. The U.S. Surgeon General called it an epidemic. Cost barriers, inconvenience, and stigma keep connections from happening.
Our Approach
Three pillars of change.
Remove Barriers
Partner with local businesses to provide free and discounted spaces for people to connect in person.
Reduce Stigma
Normalize reaching out. Campaign to make initiating in-person connection feel natural, not awkward.
Build Habits
Tools, challenges, and community events that make one more hour of connection part of weekly life.
