Every generation has a soundtrack. Mixtape starts by pressing play.
Through consistent doorstep visits, youths build trust with socially isolated seniors through small conversations and shared experiences. Instead of expecting seniors to take the first step, the community comes to them.
Together, they exchange songs, memories and stories that shaped their lives, then turn them into community mixtapes.
The music may come from different eras, but the feelings behind it often sound familiar. One track at a time, seniors and youths begin finding common ground, belonging and friendship.
