We Are Tusten Social.

About

WE BELIEVE

Social isolation is a threat to the health and happiness of rural communities, compounded by the challenges of post-Covid disconnection, technology-induced loneliness, increased political division and the lack of social opportunities for children, teens and aging adults. Connection is the solution.

OUR MISSION

Tusten Social creates and supports opportunities for social and civic infrastructure within our community and beyond.

OUR VISION

Tusten Social envisions a connected community where strong social ties increase overall happiness and health. Our model for connection will be shared with rural communities across the United States, helping them to initiate programs and partnerships that lead to more supported and engaging lives for all.
