Putting Foster Youth In Charge of Their Transition Into Adulthood with a Web Application
By Suhas Joshi, Ivana Ng, Kesone Phimmasone, Jesse Taggert, and Jane Yang
This policy brief 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 brief was completed as part of a project for the 2023 Tech Executive Leadership Initiative (TELI), hosted in conjunction with the Tech Talent Project.
