UMass/NN Storytelling Project: Connecting Across Generations

Northampton Neighbors is once again partnering with public health students at UMass on a storytelling project. Hear StoryShares here.

Throughout the course, students will learn about different ways to build connections, including through storytelling. NN Members are matched one-on-one with a student in the class. Pairs meet about weekly for about 8-10 weeks and can expect to spend a minimum of 10 hours over the course of the semester.

The Epidemic of Loneliness: On Connection, Belonging, and Public Health taught by Professor Gloria DiFulvio PhD, MPH is not offered in Fall of 2026.
