Whisper combats student loneliness by hosting meaningful conversations, because connection is an essential human need, just as much as food and water. The problem is that students will go through their entire day 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, high schools, and college campuses with tools and training through a plug-and-play card deck model. Over a 40-day season, the Whisper Conversations™ flood these schools with moments where students are known, cared for, and fulfilled, creating a defense against the loneliness epidemic. Whisper believes that the next generation can move from Alone → Known, and that to change the culture, you first have to change the conversations students have.
