Mission
Generations United is a program that strives to close the gap between our older and younger generations while working to address the issue of senior loneliness and isolation through interactions in the form of phone calls, emails, or letters that create a trusting friendship between both groups. The adolescents who choose to take part in the program are trained by a former college psychologist professor in the art of conversation and active listening, a skill that is fading due to technology, before they are paired up with a senior citizen to begin their calls. These interactions promote a connection and friendship between the two parties.

Membership Benefits
Our members are taught to promote empathy and understanding through multiple training sessions while building strong, trusting relationships with these seniors. These members are able to improve the quality of life for seniors through conversation while they gain invaluable knowledge about life from the experiences that seniors share with them.

Mission
Imagine a classroom without markers, pens, and whiteboards. Imagine a classroom without questions, without aspirations, without free thought. This is no way to receive a good education, yet it’s a problem facing many students both domestically and internationally.

When underprivileged students are funneled through educational programs without opportunities to express, design and wonder, it doesn’t just hurt the students, but also make the entire society out of balance - poor people become more poor and rich people become more rich. Especially nowadays people are becoming more connected and if many individuals aren’t receiving a proper education, everyone is disadvantaged by the out of balance socio-economical statuses. That’s why it should disturb us when we find out about children that have never once seen a highlighter or challenged to think outside of the box.

And this is the problem that ICI sets out to remedy. ICI is a largely student-run organization that aims to teach students essential skills for a rapidly changing world. Equipped with school supplies, student mentors adept in a variety of fields ranging from robotics to writing teach other students the skills required to think big. ICI has visited many schools both down the road and on other continents. By providing resources to learn and grow we hope to not only empower the student, but also his or her classroom, community and beyond. Education is known to be a fundamental building block of the future.

Unfortunately for us here at ICI, finding student mentors or volunteers able to travel to rural locations can be difficult. That’s why we need your help. Any contribution helps, whether it’s an afternoon or a weeklong trip abroad. We need both supplies and manpower, so please consider joining our efforts. They need us. The world needs us. We need us.

The mission of the student organization Love & Time is to support the nonprofit’s dedication to providing mental health therapy, support, and resources in a timely manner to individuals who are essential to our society’s well-being, including but not limited to maternal mental health, law enforcement and disenfranchised children and their families.Therapy can be very expensive for those without health insurance and it can take months for insurance companies to provide help. Access to a professional between a 72-96-hour period for members in our community experiencing mental challenges is essential to providing them with the tools to treat themselves and others with compassion.
It is scientifically proven that newborns who are stimulated through their parents’ touch, voice, heartbeat, and attention are significantly more likely to thrive as adults compared to children who lack these stimuli. These connections and associations at birth have long-lasting effects that carry on through our adult lives and impact how we self-regulate through stressful experiences, how humans love and connect with others, and build self-esteem. Targeting mental health support for postpartum mothers and families is our ticket to having a positive impact on child development and improving home environments.
We decided to call it Love & Time because those are the most important four letter words in one’s life. Time to grow old through reflection and experience joy, and love to build relationships, friendships, and connection with family.

Membership Benefits
Community engagement, campus leadership opportunities, and volunteering for an underrepresented cause that can change the lives of our present and future generations with mental health services.
