Mobile Communication App Now Serving Youth Organizations

InteractWith, a safer mobile communication app and risk management solution primarily serving high schools, now working with youth organizations. The company’s expansion to youth organizations increase personalized support and engagement between organization staff and volunteers and the teens they are mentoring.

“Texting can be a powerful platform for after school mentors to personally connect, support, and engage with teens, especially since it is their most comfortable way to communicate,” explains Amanda Fuchs, co-founder of InteractWith. “We have been helping thousands of high school coaches and teachers and their students to text through our app in a safeguarded environment, without sharing phone numbers. Youth organization directors have expressed the same concerns as school administrators to provide a better managed and more transparent solution to their organization’s mobile communication.“

Some of InteractWith’s features include:

· Youth mentors can send instant messages, events, to dos, documents, and more to teens’ phones, without sharing phone numbers.

· Transparency reports for directors allows access to staff-teen dialogue and activities to ensure proper communication or to evaluate programs

· Permissioning controls for directors allows them to choose who can use the platform and choose appropriate times to communicate

· Risk Alerts for directors gives them real-time warning alerts to potentially risky language

“Practicing digital safety is an important priority, especially for organizations working with youth. We are excited for youth programs to have a platform to allow their staff to reach teens and even their parents, just like texting, but in a much safer way that protects everyone,” adds Fuchs.
