Partner with VillageCore
VillageCore works with a network of AgeTech companies, nonprofits, and institutions committed to changing the experience of aging. Partnerships create programs, research, and product validation that none of us could run alone.
Why organizations partner with us
Our collaborative approach has produced innovative programs, expanded reach, and measurable impact in communities. Partners gain access to intergenerational cohorts, older adults who will test their products, and a research arm focused on aging.
VillageCore is a member of the AgeTech Collaborative from AARP, which connects us to a wider AgeTech ecosystem.
How partnerships start
Every partnership starts with a conversation about what you are trying to build and who it serves. Email info@villagecore.org to begin.
What partnership looks like in practice
Some partners send mentors and instructors into our cohorts. Some host interns. Some bring an AgeTech product into the Invention Lab to be tested by older adults. Others collaborate on research or co-host events.
What they have in common is a willingness to design with older adults rather than only for them, which is the condition that makes the rest work.
