AgeForward gives senior citizens a way to turn their skills and experience into new opportunities. By connecting them with people who need their services, seniors can earn, stay connected, and continue contributing to their community. Their experience still has value and AgeForward helps others see it.
AgeForward helps you by listing work that is suited for your age, abilities, and limitations. There are 2 people benefiting from this: the senior who gets the job and gets paid afterwards, and the client who needs the senior and receives the service.
AgeForward will help you because it will provide you with a reliable and legal way to earn income. Seniors can offer services based on their skills, such as cooking, sewing, or tutoring.
Customers can find and request these services, and seniors receive payment after completing them. These seniors can also become service providers, earn income, stay active, and continue contributing to their community.
1 - OFFER
To sign up, all the senior has to do is create a profile listing their skills and limitations, then they provide their senior ID for confirmation and are listed for hiring.
2 - DISCOVER
If a client in need of a service (e.g cleaning) they will go on the AgeForward website, look for a senior with the skills they need, and book that senior.
3 - CONNECT
The senior will get notified that they were booked and will be given the location and service that they are to do. The client will pay the senior.
4 - COMPLETE
After the service is completed, the customer confirms that the job is done and payment is given to the senior. The customer can leave a rating or review, and the senior can also report any problem with the transaction.

What value do they receive?
AgeForward gives seniors a way to continue using the skills and experience they have gained throughout their lives. It can help them earn extra income, meet and help other people, stay active, and feel that they can still contribute to their community.
Most important value:
A sense of purpose and contribution. Earning money is helpful, but AgeForward also gives seniors an opportunity to continue doing something they are good at and know that their skills are still valuable to others.
Why would they use it?
Customers can find people in their community who have useful skills and years of experience. AgeForward also makes it easier to discover, contact, and book seniors who can provide the service they need.
Most important value:
Access to experienced and trusted people in the community. Customers are not only getting a service, they are getting help from someone who has developed that skill through years of experience.
We believe that if we help senior citizens share the skills they have learned over the years, they can continue to feel useful and connected while helping others in the community. We would know if Project AgeForward has potential if seniors are willing to list their skills, community members are interested in their services, and users find the platform easy and useful
We could test this through a small pilot, measuring sign-ups, service requests, completed transactions, and user feedback.
