About Us

San Francisco’s first ever Coalition for Social Connection (CSC) aims to boost social wellbeing for older adults in the Bay Area

Our Mission

CSC will unite community partners working to boost older adults’ social connection to share resources and insight on how to address social isolation and loneliness among the older population. Bringing together these partners will lead to coherent and cross-sector actions to boost older adults’ social connection.

Our Vision

CSC envisions a San Francisco Bay Area in which older adults lead quality lives enriched with engaging, supportive, and evidence-based social interactions and programs.
