Club - Perfect Pair at Northeastern University

NU Perfect Pair fosters intergenerational connections between seniors and college students in the hopes of countering isolation and loneliness in assisted living communities around the local Boston area. This endeavor is grounded in a commitment to reinforce a profound sense of community and purpose for the pairings, while simultaneously enhancing the overall health and well-being of the local senior demographic.

The organization’s mission is accomplished through personalized matches between one older adult and one college student, taking into account shared backgrounds and mutual interests to ensure an authentic bond. Through weekly meetings and tailored programming, pairs engage in meaningful activities that provide mutual benefits, rekindling seniors’ passions and offering mentorship opportunities for students.

NU Perfect Pair strives to raise awareness of the senior experience, challenge age-related stereotypes, and welcome new ideas that support the organization and the community it serves.
