All Empowerment starts when you take control of your decisions. Helping you make better decisions is our mission.Spotivity is a multi-faceted platform tackling the teen boredom pandemic while creating business solutions to the wonderful programs that cater to teens. We aim to help teens find meaningful activities, their parents to feel good about those activities, and those program directors to feel supported. Spotivity removes key logistical barriers to entry and provides a dynamic engagement platform for all. Leveraging the latest mobile technology, spotivity has created the first of its kind platform with mapping capabilities and personality insight quizzes to create a fully immersive and custom experience for the teens, helping them discover new passions.Each year, over 40 million American children and teenagers occupy non-school hours, but only half of that number are engaged with after school activity. After school hours represent a potential landmine of positive and negative developmental opportunities for youth. Regardless of socioeconomic backgrounds, in-school time can, at most, provide positive youth engagement for only 20% of the youth's time per week. Spotivity helps fill-in unused time voids and supports the unlocking of potential through meaningful matching of interest, access, and resources (currently spotivity lists 10 discrete categories of activities – Sports, Education, Mentoring, Health, The Arts, Volunteering, Jobs, Internships, Summer Camps, and Virtual).
