Aspen Policy Academy

Foster Youth Web Application

This policy project proposes that OKDHS develop a mobile-friendly web app called “Glow Up.” Glow Up will allow foster youth to take control of their transition into adulthood by replacing traditional paper-based milestone planning with a web app. The proposed app will allow foster youth to manage their growth into adulthood directly, enabling them to define their goals and collaborate with their support team to achieve them.

This project was completed as part of the 2023 Tech Executive Leadership Initiative (TELI) hosted in conjunction with the Tech Talent Project. You can learn more about TELI here.
