Alternatives’ mission is to provide behavioral health and restorative justice resources to youth in Chicago. During spring quarter, TechTeam will help them by redesigning and updating their WordPress website to best reflect this goal. TechTeam will remove information that is no longer relevant, redesign the website’s layout to be accessible and usable, and add new features to help them with their new mission statement. Also, TechTeam plans to help Alternatives with a future project for Autumn quarter 2021 by creating an app to give youth an approachable method to access the resources that they need. This spring, we will do initial preparation for the app project if time permits, including creating drafts for how the app might look in Figma, researching existing apps with similar goals, and preparing a template for workshops on app design.
