In this episode of TRIIBE Talk, Varuni Chopra, Founder of Bridge the Gap, shares how a pandemic-era initiative grew into a national movement connecting young volunteers with senior citizens through technology, empathy, and human connection. It began as helping seniors video call their families and evolved into something far more powerful: a two-way exchange where youth teach digital tools and seniors pass down wisdom, perspective, and purpose.
Varuni dives into building intergenerational relationships, scaling a volunteer-driven nonprofit, adapting to changing community needs, and reimagining what "connection" looks like beyond technology. This conversation is a powerful reminder that bridging divides isn't just about tools…it's about listening, learning, and showing up for one another.
