The purpose of the Rural Health Initiatives is to promote the health and well-being of rural citizens by creating sustainable student service initiatives. Our main initiatives are the Tele-Friend program and the English Literacy program. TELEFRIEND - Pen-pal to older adults program: This program focuses on combating issues of loneliness and social isolation in rural older adult populations. By partnering college students with a “pen-pal” older adult partner, students can engage in virtual discussions and activities to help provide companionship to those who need it most. ENGLISH LITERACY: This program focuses on helping immigrants, especially in rural areas, gain English practice and build their confidence and integration in a new environment.. By partnering college students with an immigrant partner, students can engage in virtual discussions and activities to help provide English practice to immigrants and create lasting relationships.
