How The Program Works
There are three different offerings to meet your needs:
Talking to New People (4 Week Group Intensive)
This experience brings eight people together who don’t know each other for four weeks to practice relationship-building tools and strategies in the hope that participants will find connection.
Throughout the four weeks, the structure will feel less and less formal in order to foster a sense of familiarity and closeness that many people are missing in online environments during COVID-19.
Each group will be facilitated by a peer mentor.
Talking to New People Online Workshop
This one-time 1.5 hour workshop will help you develop the skills you need to make new connections and manage fear and anxiety that comes along with it. In this workshop, we will teach you how to make new connections and you will practice these skills so that you’ll leave with experience and confidence that will help you continue talking to new people.
Please note there are specific workshop time(s) that cater to both undergrad and graduate/professional students.
Talking to New People for Leaders and Facilitators
Are you hosting online spaces for students? This one time workshop will support you in creating online spaces where students feel comfortable talking to one another online and creating connections with each other.
