What is Reconnect?
Reconnect Clubs host phone-free events every other week to create a fully engaged, uninterrupted social environment that Gen Z rarely experiences. Grab some friends and start a Reconnect chapter at your college.
Why no phones?
1. Depth of connection increases
2. No distractions from the present moment
3. These factors create a more lively and exploratory social environment
Why Reconnect Exists
We create in person communities on college campuses to detox from distractions, make friends, and just hang out. Social media currently has a monopoly on social connections, meaning social media has become a requirement to socialize. Therefore if you want to avoid the negative effects of social media and delete it, your social life will suffer. Reconnect exists to balance this monopoly by providing an easily accessible face to face alternative to social media.
Meet The Founder
Reconnect was founded by college student Seán Killingsworth. After constantly feeling isolated while surrounded by social media, Seán traded his smartphone for a flip-phone. That’s when he discovered the outside world was no longer full of in person social opportunities because everyone was looking down at their phones and focusing on social media. He created The Reconnect Movement to provide students with a place dedicated to meeting people and socializing face to face.
