What We Do
Championing a more connected future.
Our Mission
Our mission is to convene and activate diverse stakeholders to design and advocate evidence-informed public policies that address social isolation and loneliness and advance social connection for all.
Our Vision
A vibrant society where social connection is at the heart of public policy and how we live.
Advocacy
The Action Network has released its 2023-2024 policy priorities and recommendations for the 118th Congress and the Biden Administration. As we look ahead, stay tuned for our refreshed 2025-2026 priorities and join us in advancing a policy agenda that works to prevent social isolation and loneliness while fostering social connection for all Americans.
Collaboration
Committees & Work Groups
As a valued member of the Action Network, you are invited to join our Policy Committee and actively contribute to our advocacy efforts. Membership also offers opportunities to participate in The Foundation for Social Connection’s workgroups, including the Older Adults Working Group and the Young Adults Working Group, where you can help drive meaningful change across key focus areas.
Awareness Initiatives
The Action Network has partnered with member organizations to help them launch and expand the reach of their social isolation, loneliness, and connection awareness campaigns. Examples include Humana’s Far from Alone campaign and Eventbrite’s Social Connection Project.
Learning Networks
The Action Network is proud to be a part of national and global learning networks, coordinating with organizations such as The Foundation for Social Connection and The Global Initiative on Loneliness and Connection to advance systems-based change for a more connected future.
Activation
Each June, alongside our partners at the Global Initiative on Loneliness and Connection (GILC) and Marmalade Trust, we activate local communities, policymakers, and innovators to share resources, identify areas of collaboration, and educate the public on the importance of belonging and resiliency. Together, we mobilize relationships across the globe to elevate awareness of the crisis worldwide.
