Holding Hands

Kinnected welcomes you to the Reciprocity Project, where your health experiences can bridge generational divides to support elders and young adults alike.

What is the Reciprocity Project?

This project connects people across generations to explore health experiences and share connection around those experiences. By joining the Reciprocity Project, elders will share their health journeys in exchange for active listening from young adults, and young adults will gather knowledge on health across cultures and time.

When you join the project, you will be exploring questions like these:

Did an illness or a health journey coincide with an important time in your life history?
Have you lived all your life with a chronic condition or a mystery illness?
What would you tell another person with a similar condition?
What would you say in a letter to your younger self about your health history?
Has a physical, emotional/mental, or social health concern or condition defined, impacted, or served your life to some extent?
Do you have any health experiences or insights you want to share to benefit others?
What is something unique about your body, mind, or spirit?

We welcome you to bridge generational divides, experience the joy of giving, and create multi-directional support networks for the betterment of all ages.

Conversations will be led by:
