ConnectOne matches adults with a community volunteer who can help them thrive.
We have a young adult in San Mateo who came from Mexico and aspires to be an mechanic. He would appreciate advice and guidance from a practicing mechanic.

If a volunteer is willing, he’d be glad to provide any type of assistance he can at an auto shop to gain the experience of the work environment.

Mission Statement
Enable adult volunteers to share knowledge, life skills, experience, & friendship with a motivated adult learner in our community looking for a little help.
Description
"Volunteering made direct."
We match adult volunteers 1:1 with an adult who has a learning need & wants a little help. Our program is unique in that each learner is described directly on our website.
By personalizing every need upfront, we hope to create great matches for limitless learning topics. And at the same time, we hope to inspire more volunteers with a transparent & easy process.
Our ultimate vision is to be an ongoing platform where any adult with a learning goal can ask for help from someone in the broader community. With the social & economic gaps in the bay area, we especially want to give a voice to people with a higher goal, but simply lack access to anyone who can help.
We hope to give people the chance to meet, work with, & better understand someone in a circle different from their own. By making these connections, our community improves, one person at a time.
