Project scope
What is the main goal for this project?

Hey there! Super excited to have you reading this. My Student Wellbeing is looking to address the struggles that post-secondary students and young adults face in terms of developing new friendships. There's lots of opportunities to socialize, yet lots of students struggle to develop friendships and they struggle with loneliness. We want to change this!


We're looking for students to provide innovative strategies for us to help create opportunities for students to develop new connections and friendships.

What tasks will learners need to complete to achieve the project goal?

Come up with innovative, well thought out ways for us to help students develop connections. The solutions don't need to have any financial or operational constraints. Imagine we have unlimited money and unlimited resources. Let's hear those amazing ideas!

How will you support learners in completing the project?

Direct communication with the founder and CEO of My Student Wellbeing. Regular meetings and emails as needed. We're very supportive and want to provide the students with the best experience!
