Abstract

Mon Ami is a Bay Area social enterprise that matches older adults and their families with college students for companionship and intergenerational connection. The students visit over coffee, help with memoir projects, troubleshoot technology problems, even organize photos and memorabilia. They often develop meaningful connections with the older adults, changing their outlook on friendship, community, aging, even their careers. So, who are the college students who decide to become Mon Ami companions?
