TasselTurn is proud to announce the public launch of its groundbreaking platform designed to empower foster-involved youth as they embark on their educational and career journeys.
The TasselTurn app is now live, offering a unique blend of personalized guidance, incentivized learning, and a supportive community. TasselTurn understands the unique challenges of youth with lived experience in foster care, and our mission is to provide them with the tools and resources they need to succeed, which begins with high school completion.
The TasselTurn app offers a range of benefits, including: Personalized Guidance: Youth can apply to be matched with a dedicated Education Coach who will provide tailored support, helping them set and achieve their educational and career goals. Incentivized Learning: The platform incentivizes learning by allowing students to earn monetary rewards as they complete mini lessons that align with district graduation competencies, making education not only rewarding but financially beneficial. Emotional Well-being: The Emotional Assessment Portal (EAP) enables students to track and manage their emotions, promoting self-awareness and well-being. Community and Support: TasselTurn fosters a sense of community where youth can connect with peers and mentors, share experiences, and collaborate on their journeys to success.
“TasselTurn has served youth since 2019, this public launch of the TasselTurn app represents a significant milestone in our commitment to empowering all foster-involved youth," said Shanté Elliott, Founder and CEO at TasselTurn. "We believe that youth with this lived experience deserves the opportunity to thrive, and our platform is designed to provide the guidance and support they need to achieve their dreams."
TasselTurn encourages youth and their families to explore the app and discover the valuable resources and support it offers. Parents, educators, case workers, can sign up youth aged 13 - 19, with lived experience in foster care, including adoption, foster parent and residential placement, dual-involvement, and guardianship by submitting an application. Youth may also sign-up independently. You can learn more about TasselTurn and its mission to empower youth by visiting its website.
