🧭 1. Personalized Support Matching

Covenant House staff often need to make fast decisions about how to support a youth. Sliders could:

• Help caseworkers quickly understand each youth’s personal preferences, emotional states, triggers, and goals.
• Empower youth to express their needs nonverbally or subtly, which is crucial for those who’ve experienced trauma.
• Tailor therapy types, job training, housing, or social support more precisely.

Imagine a dashboard where youth can slide to express comfort with authority, risk tolerance, social needs, or communication style.

🧠 2. Trauma-Informed AI Coaching Tools

You could co-develop an AI companion or journaling tool powered by Sliders:

• Helps youth reflect on what they really want and how they feel in safe, structured ways.
• Builds self-awareness, agency, and trust through daily interactions.
• Could suggest resources or coping strategies based on how sliders shift over time.

❤️ 3. Donor Engagement with Empathy

Donors often want to feel connected to the cause:

• You could use sliders to let donors explore different profiles or “story journeys” of youth (anonymized).
• Let them “tune in” to different emotional realities: e.g. fear vs hope, belonging vs isolation.
• This slider-driven empathy engine could power fundraising campaigns that are deeply human and interactive.

📊 4. Impact Measurement from the Inside Out

Most nonprofits struggle to quantify their emotional and human impact. SlidersAI can:

• Let youth self-assess things like dignity, hope, safety, trust—in a non-invasive and evolving way.
• Show how programs shift internal states over time, not just external stats.

💬 5. Youth Voice Advocacy

Create an interface that lets youth define what they want society to understand—using sliders to adjust complex topics:

• Stigma vs acceptance
• Systems that hurt vs systems that help
• What “freedom” or “safety” means to them
