ProgramWorks
Insiders
For curious people who are always looking for the next good idea.
A monthly collection of things worth knowing, trying, sharing, discussing—and turning into experiences.
One small monthly membership.
Useful ideas. Thoughtfully chosen.
Ideas become experiences.
Experiences become connections.
03 Proof
Ideas grounded in the real world.
ProgramWorks didn’t begin as a content company. It grew out of years of creating and delivering real experiences in communities.
Our presenters have worked with:
- 175+ Municipalities
- 6 States and Counting
- 300+ COAs & Libraries
- 100+ Proven Programs
“I encourage you to continue this work... and please keep us in the loop so that we can send interested students your way.”
Zach Boyer, Planning Director, Coastline Elderly Services
04 Discovery
Look wider
Follow your curiosity.
Good ideas rarely stay in their lane.
ProgramWorks draws from history, technology, culture, food, travel, books, research, conversation, community life and the strange things worth noticing along the way.
The point is not to know where every idea will lead.
The point is to keep finding the ones worth following.

07 Our People
The People
Hi, I’m Dave. I’m a serial entrepreneur and collaborator.
ProgramWorks is my way of creating an ecosystem around the work we do through Therapy Gardens and SeniorU—and around the people, organizations and ideas that make that work possible.
I believe good ideas are most valuable when they lead somewhere: to an experience, a conversation, a new skill, a stronger community, or simply a reason for people to come together.
Technology is part of that equation, but it isn’t the destination. We use it as a tool—to discover more, create more, remove barriers and give people more ways to participate and contribute.
ProgramWorks Insiders is where we share some of what we’re discovering along the way.
Built with presenters, partners, organizations, participants—and a lot of curious people.
Good ideas should lead somewhere.
ProgramWorks creates programs, tools, kits and experiences that help organizations bring people together with less preparation and more confidence. Insiders is the monthly editorial thread connecting that work: discoveries to follow, ideas to adapt, and occasional glimpses of what ProgramWorks is building next.
