Won't you be my neighbor?

Welcome to "Won't You Be My Neighbor?" – inspired by the wisdom of Mr. Rogers and Jeremy Nobel's "Project Unlonely."

​

In a world where loneliness affects many, especially seniors, we're here to make a difference. The Neighborhood Program brings the power of human connection through creativity, sound, and art to senior communities.

​

Our mission? To create meaningful, joyful experiences that spark memories and cultivate real connections. Through soundscapes and interactive art, we transform neighborhoods into vibrant communities of companionship.

​

Join us and help make sure no one feels alone. Won't you be our neighbor?
