- I think this temporary headline needs to be workshopped. This will be the first thing people see, and I think it needs to be powerful, and to the point.
I can see this “Empower youth, embrace….” headline being used, maybe on the ABOUT page. - Also consider what that opening paragraph should say. I think this is good, but it might need to have more urgency. Think of this section like it’s “above the fold” of the newspaper.
- Also do you have any images you want featured on the website? If so, please send them to me.
Empower youth. Embrace resiliency. Foster social ties.
The Right Reach works with state, county & nonprofit service providers in foster care to assist youths in identifying the barriers to obtaining self-dependency, through human investment and 21st-century skill-building.
4. This is a powerful section and I think it really needs to be highlighted. I can see the second paragraph as a large visual infographic to really drive home how many fosters face barriers.
Too many youth aging out of foster care face barriers to transitioning into adulthood that matches their hopes and potential
Many youth and adults who have been in the foster care system experience disconnection from systems and challenges building trusting personal/professional communities of belonging.
Fosters are the predictable, preventable population – 500,000 plus youth in foster care, more than 40% within 3 years of existing in the system will end up homeless, incarcerated, or dead.
Only half of the youth aging out of foster care find gainful employment by the age of 26.
Our Solution / Our Vision
5. This text briefly introduces visitors to your main services. Not sure if we want to include all of these right away, maybe as a framing for our vision? Or upcoming products and services? We don't have to include all or any of these right away, but should start to think of what you'd want to include for launch, and then we can work on the language for each.
Maybe we could use a timeline treatment. Like: NOW -My Squad deck, 2023: Workshops, Train the Trainee, late 2023: Coaching Implemented.

A Title to Turn the Visitor Into a Lead / Call to Action
7. What is the call to action for visitors to the website at this point in time?
The two main audiences have been identified as
Service Providers, Civic orgs and non profits
Skilled trades professionals & program directors, entrepreneurs-business owners
Do they have the same CTA? Or do you want different things from these two audiences?
