The Marketplace:  Featuring Perk and Waltz   NEW EVENT

Thursday, July 30, 10am PT/11am MT/12noon CT/1pm ET

Village to Village Network regularly learns about products, services and resources in the growing market geared toward serving older adults. Sometimes we learn about these resources directly from individual villages; other ideas come from conferences or from introductions made to VtVN. The Marketplace will be an occasional presentation where we share select organizations or products we think villages might wish to learn about. Two such organizations—Perk and Waltz—have caught our attention recently and we’re giving them this opportunity to make a brief presentation and to answer your questions. Perk offers content for one-hour weekly, creative engagement gatherings for older adults. These in-person gatherings are designed to help address the social needs of adults in a friendly smaller-group environment.  Waltz provides one-on-one remote tech coaching to older adults. (While many villages offer tech volunteers to troubleshoot and to help members become more confident with technology, some members seek more in-depth and frequent coaching.) Note: VtVN is not formally aligned with organizations featured in The Marketplace and is not receiving compensation or sponsorship from them.
