The GenWell Project, a registered Canadian NFP and charity partner of Framework Foundation, is a grassroots Global Human Connection Movement whose mission is to make the world a happier and healthier place by educating people about the importance of face-to-face social connection as a proactive step we can all take for our health, happiness and longevity, as well as for those around us. We share information, research, tips, and motivation through our social channels and our website, to empower people create healthy connection habits starting today and we activate around two weekends a year, in the spring and fall, when we want to be the catalyst that inspires people to reach out and get connected face to face with family, friends, neighbours and colleagues.
We have so many opportunities to be part of this incredible movement that it really is a mutual decision between the student and the Executive Director, whom you will have direct contact with, to see what you would like to do.
1) Help build a functional CRM to help us maintain and grow our community in an organized fashion.
2) Help us reach out to and build a network of organizations that can support Canadians who are struggling with their social health, which is one of the root causes of mental health issues.
3) Support our Executive Director in maintaining and focusing on the priorities of the movement at any one time.
4) The opportunity to work on and be part of a partnership team that is working to build greater connection to the business community across Canada.
We are really excited to have your support in building this movement.
Gratitude,
Pete

The GenWell Project was inspired by the face to face connections that resulted from the summer blackout of August 14, 2003, on the Eastern seaboard of North America. Over 500 generating units shut down that afternoon resulting in the power being shut off to over 55 million people in Canada and the United States, which inspired people to generate connections and conversations.
