Whisper combats student loneliness by hosting meaningful conversations, because connection is a human need as essential as food and water. The problem is that students will go through their entire days without a single genuine interaction, ending the day feeling unknown and losing the gift and skill of connection. To change this, Whisper equips students in nearly 30 middle schools, high schools, and colleges with tools and training through a plug-and-play card deck model. Over a 40-day season, these conversations flood schools with moments where students are known, cared for, and fulfilled, creating a defense against the loneliness epidemic. We believe the next generation can move from alone to known, and that to change the culture, you first have to change the conversations students have.
