Detroit has no shortage of opportunities. Finding the right one is the hard part. Opportunity 313 brings fragmented information into a single discovery experience, with clear details and a next step families can act on.
I structured the experience around the decisions families need to make, supported by separate workflows for youth, parents, providers, and administrators. A shared listing format helps connect discovery with reliable information.
Programs are scattered across flyers, social media, school messages, and provider websites. Families have to piece together age requirements, cost, location, and deadlines before they can decide whether an opportunity fits.
How might we help a family find something relevant—and know what to do next?
Age and interests guide discovery. Practical details such as location, schedule, eligibility, and cost help families judge fit before following an application link.
Providers submit structured opportunities for administrator review. Discovery depends on the quality and freshness of the information behind each card.
Parents manage youth profiles, families discover and save opportunities, providers submit listings, and administrators review them. Each role has a clear purpose.
New interface study · Illustrative content · Proposed design, not a shipped screen.
MVP built · Preparing for pilot validation
The iOS MVP includes role-based access, youth profiles, discovery, saved opportunities, provider submissions, and administrator review. Pilot testing is the next step; improvements in enrollment or repeat usage have not yet been established.
A useful directory is more than a list of links. Consistent information and a trustworthy publishing process make discovery actionable.
