I/O

I/O

The software Crown Roots Foundation builds and owns to close the information gap for Pocono Mountain families.

Two Tools, One Path

Families here are not short on talent or effort. They are short on information: what college really costs, which schools meet full need, and what steps to take in which year. I/O is how we put that information in their hands.

In is what a family learns. Out is where a student goes.

In/Root, n. a family's insight into The Gap, school by school; a student en route to their own growth.
Out/Come, n. a Crown Roots student's path out into the world, and their path back into the community they come from.
In/Root
Free and open to everyone

In/Root

College Search Database

Search colleges by what a family at your income level would actually pay, not the sticker price. Built so any Pocono family can see the real numbers before they rule a school out.

Out/Come
For Crown Roots students and staff

Out/Come

Student Intake System

Where our staff sit down with each student, learn their situation, and build a plan. Students sign in to see the colleges and scholarships our team has reviewed and approved for them.

How Out/Come Works

Out/Come sits behind a login because it holds student information. Here is what happens inside.

Intake

A staff member walks through a structured intake with the student: grades, interests, household situation, and goals. Nothing is filled out alone.

Pathway and Progress

Each student gets a high school pathway and a progress tracker, so everyone can see what has been done and what comes next.

College and Scholarship Matches

The system matches each student to affordable colleges and scholarships they are eligible for, along with test prep dates and deadlines.

Staff Review

Our team reviews every match before a student sees it. Students do not browse raw data. They see a short list that has been checked and explained.

Built Here, Owned by the Foundation

Both tools are built and owned by Crown Roots Foundation, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit. In/Root is free for every family.
