ADVR Challenge: Connecting Youth & Seniors

Seniors want to be listened to and have a lot of wisdom & time. Reignites their sense of purpose and rejuvenates them. Youth have no time so they want extreme value-packed experiences, non-judgmental ear/guidance.


Connecting the youth and seniors with similar interests benefits both relationships. Pairing them together will make individuals gain new experiences and share the knowledge they contain within themselves. Both the youth and seniors will mutually benefit from this experience. We create a platform for today’s seniors and youth.


We are an organization that believes in the power of connecting those who have experienced it all and those who are just starting out. We want to offer the youth and seniors of today a platform to contribute to society in a way that makes a direct impact on their lives and help join the two generations who seem to always be at opposing ends.

Aveum's non-profit fundraising campaign revolves around the universal language of music, aiming to foster intergenerational connections. Through strategic use of Apple Music and Spotify, coupled with AI technology, users can explore music spanning different generations based on their preferences. A small one-time fee grants access to personalized playlists, and the option to purchase specialty music records for an additional cost.


In addition, Aveum hosts the annual 'Our Generations' outdoor music festival, embracing all age groups with a modest entrance fee of twenty dollars, while children and seniors enjoy free admission. The festival offers an open-seating layout, encouraging socialization across generations. Multiple stages feature diverse performers, ensuring a range of musical styles and ages. Staffing relies on volunteers, providing high school teens an opportunity to earn volunteer hours. Revenue is generated through entry fees, vendor contributions, and featured advertisements, establishing a sustainable source of non-profit funding.
