What Empower is
Empower is an organizational and educational app for youth development programs, including youth employment programs and nonprofits. It helps students build financial and career readiness through configurable curriculum, reminders, encouragement, and a customizable digital assistant. Programs can update learning material, while students work through it at their own pace. For coordination, the app includes announcements, notifications, messaging, surveys, checklists, documents, and an event calendar. Students can submit timesheets on their phones for employer approval, and the app can integrate with payroll systems. Programs can also handle applications, enrollment documents, and attendance. Administrators and coaches can search and aggregate information such as hours worked, savings, goals met, courses taken, and student engagement. Program branding can include its logo, and Empower says it develops features with programs individually. The program owns its data. The app is available on Android, iOS, and web. Pricing is on request, with no free plan. The privacy policy describes administrative, technical, and physical safeguards, restricted access, and possible SMS device verification, but does not guarantee complete security.
