Leveraging Technology for Social Good
UCAN is a 149-year-old non-profit committed to healing, educating, and empowering youth in Chicago, and serving over 21,000 children, youth, and families across Illinois. The UCAN leadership team and members of the board turned to EX3 Labs to explore how their company could leverage current and emerging technologies to enhance social services.
EX3 Labs led UCAN through an interactive process that allowed participants to explore how emerging technologies might help the organization enhance and expand their current services to continue meeting the needs of Chicago's most vulnerable citizens.
The group's passion for the important work UCAN does was inspiring. It was an honor to watch them embrace the emerging technologies, along with a collaborative design framework, that could assist them with accomplishing their mission.Jason Edgecombe, Business Analyst, EX3 Labs
