FOCUSED YOUTH INITIATIVE

GAMING CULTURE • YOUTH • FAMILY

Raising AVIGALO™

AVIGALO™ is a family-coined name formed from A VIdeo GAme Loving Original. It began with one video-game-loving young person's story—not an autism diagnosis—and grew into a focused initiative for gaming-immersed young people, including but not limited to neurodivergent youth, and the people supporting them.

Why it exists: Gaming-immersed young people are too often described only through adults’ concerns about screen time, withdrawal, stalled plans, or conflict. Raising AVIGALO™ looks more curiously at what gaming may also reveal—persistence, pattern recognition, belonging, mastery, imagination, and a language through which support can begin.

The vision: to make gaming a bridge rather than a battleground. Familiar concepts such as respawn, level up, quests, and legacy mode help young people and the people supporting them explore resets, daily growth, contribution, and lives of significance.

What is Raising AVIGALO™? A one-minute introduction.
