Bruins for the Institute on Aging

We are an undergraduate student organization at the University of California, Los Angeles that serves as a volunteer recruitment club for the Institute on Aging’s Friendship Line and educates about health and social issues experienced by elderly individuals. Institute on Aging aims “to enhance the quality of life for aging adults and adults living with disabilities, enabling them to maintain their health, well-being, independence and participation in the community.” As a club, we will connect volunteers to the Friendship Line. Our primary goal is to raise awareness and bridge the intergenerational gap through compassionate conversations about the quality of life of older adults.
