GrowthWorks works with recovery providers, reentry programs, churches, schools, employers, and county partners. We bring the software, the training, and the setup help. You bring the people and the problem.
Some partners need intake and referrals. Some need training space. Some need compliance schedules that run themselves. Here is what we build together most often.
One intake instead of five. A consent the person actually signs and can take back. And referrals you can check the status of, so nobody disappears between your door and the next one.
We are building a shop floor so your clients can learn robotics, growing, fabrication, or digital production on real equipment your agency does not have to buy. Attendance will come back to you. It is not open yet.
A tablet at the door that answers the same questions your staff answer forty times a day, using only your approved forms and policies. Anything real gets handed straight to a person.
Hydroponic growing, food production, and waste reduction, with the record-keeping a funder will ask for already built in, instead of reconstructed at report time.
Robotics, mechatronics, fabrication, digital production, and AI skills, plus paid production work, with a portfolio at the end. In build, not yet running. Our hours do not count toward the 2027 Medicaid work requirements, and no training provider in Ohio can report hours today.
Every funder deadline on one calendar so nothing is missed, and the proof for each report collected while the work happens rather than the week it is due.
We listen first: who walks in, what forms exist, where handoffs break, and what outcomes matter.
Software module, station, robot skill, green initiative, referral process, training track, or some combination.
GhostyBoy handles identity, permissions, records, calendars, compliance, referrals, and evidence.
Staff, students, peers, and volunteers learn the workflow until the new way becomes normal.
Outcomes are tracked from the work itself, so you can fund, improve, and scale with confidence.
The useful version of a lobby robot or iPad assistant is connected to your real world: forms, calendars, policies, referrals, and staff escalation rules. It greets people, opens the right workflow, answers approved questions, and hands off to a human when the moment needs care.
You do not have to be a nonprofit to be part of this. Most of what a local employer needs from us is practical.
Our cohorts are being built to turn out people with real documented hours on robotics, fabrication, food production, and digital work, plus a portfolio you can look at. No cohort has graduated yet, so there is nobody to send you today. When there is, you will be among the first to know.
Podcasts, video, ads, printing, and web work, produced by students with an instructor over their shoulder. You get the work at a price that fits a local budget, and it pays for the training.
Equipment, seats, or a whole program. Local money stays visible: you can walk in and see the machine you paid for with someone learning on it.
Tell us what keeps repeating: missed handoffs, paperwork, idle equipment, training gaps, client navigation, community food needs, staff overload, or compliance reporting.
