    In this episode, Jose Cruz interviews Tina Rose, CEO of Big Brothers Big Sisters of San Diego County, about her path from East County student and group home staffer to leading one of the region’s key youth mentoring organizations. She explains how early work in foster care, including helping launch the San Diego branch of Olive Crest, shaped her focus on prevention and long-term relationships with youth. Rose outlines how Big Brothers Big Sisters creates and supports one-to-one matches from childhood through early adulthood, with staff providing ongoing guidance and wraparound services. She also addresses the growing “loneliness epidemic,” especially among boys, and describes how programs like Sports Bigs and partnerships with local gyms and colleges help bring young people out of isolation, build soft skills, and connect them to education and career opportunities.

    Elizabeth Cox, Executive Director of the San Diego Chamber of Connection, joins host Jose Cruz to explore how a new “chamber of connection” model is tackling rising loneliness and social disconnection across San Diego County. Drawing on national data and the Chamber’s “six points of connection” framework, she explains why only a small share of Americans are socially thriving and how neighborhood contact, third places, communities of play, and communities of service can rebuild the social fabric. Cox details initiatives like the Welcome Committee, Welcome Week, and the emerging Community Builders Network, as well as the upcoming Together SD Day that unites Rotary, Kiwanis, Lions, and other partners around service and human connection. She also discusses strategies to better welcome the 100,000 newcomers arriving in San Diego each year, the health and economic impacts of isolation, and the importance of everyday invitations, from potlucks to block parties, in creating a more connected, resilient region.
