Evergreen Club Launches ‘Club’ - A Social Networking Platform For Elderly

Evergreen Club, the online community for older adults above the age of 50 has rolled out on its app a social network exclusively for the elderly. The idea behind this platform is to accentuate community bonding and help the elderly network, learn and share their creations with like-minded people, especially the ones they meet during the Evergreen Club sessions. On this platform, users can share pictures, videos, create polls, etc. and also interact with other posts and fellow members.

As per a recent report, more than 90% of elderly internet users utilise social media platforms primarily to connect with family and friends. The ‘Club’ feature has been designed specifically to create a safe space for the elderly. It is a space for peer learning, exchange of ideas and sharing moments of joy for this community. This dedicated social media space will help in creating a niche community where people will be able to share their learnings, motivate others to practise them and also stay connected with our experts. The feature also keeps a close check on the negative noise through automated moderation capabilities. 

Speaking on the launch of the ‘Club’, Tapan Mishra, Founder, Evergreen Club, says, “A lot of our members felt a need to share their creations, learnings etc. with our larger community and they all have communicated this desire through both implicit and explicit signals. This led us to create this space and platform. Further, during our research, we found that even though there are numerous social media platforms out there but none of them provided a safe space for the elderly or catered exclusively to the needs of our community members. With ‘Club’, we aim to provide a wholesome experience to our Evergreeners - a space where they feel belonged and are heard by fellow members.”
