Mission Statement
Young at Heart Project (YAHP) improves the well being of seniors and the disabled confined to convalescent homes and other residential care facilities by bringing them live, high-quality, professional musical entertainment.
About This Cause
Since 1985, the Young at Heart Project has entertained over 100,000 seniors in senior and day care centers and skilled nursing, convalescent, memory disorder, Alzheimer's, and residential community facilities throughout Santa Clara, Monterey, San Mateo, and Santa Cruz counties. YAHP offers the healing power of music to the confined and often ignored elderly within our senior community. The latest scientific research now supports what we have known from the beginning — music feeds our minds and souls and has a direct and immediate positive impact on our bodies. Healthier seniors means decreased healthcare costs, as well.YAHP should be part of every senior wellness program. YAHP does this by tapping top talent, producing live shows that bring professional musicians directly to seniors in convalescent, day care, skilled nursing, assisted living, memory disorder, Alzheimer’s and residential community facilities. YAHP musicians perform chart-topping favorites from past eras in Jazz, Folk, Swing, Standards and Broadway show tune genres. YAHP provides a cognitive stimulation for the elderly by playing the music first enjoyed when the seniors were in their prime of life—experts link this connection to mental and emotional well-being. YAHP is recognized as a national model by the National Endowment of the Arts and the National Council on Aging. Founder Sean Seman has testified before Congress.
