VP of Product Development and Marketing - San Jose, CA, United States - The Mom Project

Description

The normal nurturing and discovery that school-aged children gain from families, community, and youth activities has decayed due to daily challenges and what many refer to as "algorithms", leaving families and youth today overwhelmed. We are focused on introducing a "community market network" on a mission to transform youth development and family engagement.

Innovative Go-To Who, What, When, Where, Why and How capabilities provide the simplifying connective tissue that revolutionizes opportunities and the way families interact. We're reaching out to potential strategic partners to help bring our vision to life. Executive Overview Problem: Communities that used to work together to help families are struggling. Technology has abandoned families, kids and communities. Kids feel overwhelmed. Social media accelerates feelings of isolation and depression. Mission: Increase the opportunities for parents, youth organizations, in communities to interact, play, and support each other. Utilize inspiration, logistics, and guidance to help kids engage in the real world, build character, and improve their well-being. The goal is not to leave a better world for kids, it's to leave better kids for the world.
