The Alive Inside Foundation is a non-profit dedicated to inspiring an Empathy Revolution through education, inter-generational practices, music, and film. They empower local communities to create meaningful, shared experiences that link generations, and expand aliveness globally. Their goals include:
- Change the way aging is viewed and wisdom transference is experienced.
- Inspire younger generations to find value in aging and connection with elders.
- Inspire purpose in younger generations in being “Life Protectors.”
- Reduce elder loneliness, boredom and overuse of anti-psychotic drugs, with a special focus on the 4 million elders living with dementia at home.
- Improve the core values of our communities.
