The Challenge: Stalled Recruitment
The U.S. Dream Academy is committed to breaking the cycle of intergenerational incarceration. But despite its life-changing mission, recruitment had stalled.
They faced three core problems:
- Low Visibility: Outdated website and poor SEO made them hard to find.
- Resource Drain: The manual recruitment process was draining staff capacity.
- Retention Issues: Lack of automated follow-up led to applicant drop-off.
⚠️ The Stakes
With 100+ youth waiting for mentors, every week of stalled recruitment meant another child went unsupported.
- 📉 100+ Student Waitlist
- ⏳ Staff "Drowning" in Admin
- 🚫 High Applicant Drop-off
