Community Launch · First Public Opt-In
New York Center for Interpersonal Development

Introducing NYCID Solutions —
one tap to stay connected to your community.

A community-facing opt-in inside the NYCID app suite. Residents download the app, tell us what they care about, and consent to receive program updates, community events, and work opportunities — including texts from our new NYCID text line. Launch vehicle: the Lunch & Learn series with NYC Small Business Services and Workforce1, building toward the Hiring Hall in late September.

Three screens: opt in → confirmed → connected

The community member's entire journey. Scan the flyer QR (or text JOIN), land on the opt-in, pick interests, consent, done. From then on NYCID reaches them directly.

Built to travel

  • QR shown is a placeholder — swap in the live Bitly QR when you send it; the layout won't move.
  • Same artwork exports square for Instagram/Facebook, letter-size for print, and banner for email.
  • Every scan opens the opt-in screen (Rendering 1) — one funnel, one list.
  • The Text JOIN path goes live when the Twilio A2P campaign clears (tracking ~week of July 20) — keyword JOIN is already registered on the campaign.
  • The policies behind the consent language — partners can review them here: SMS Privacy Policy · SMS Terms & Conditions (same pages published on nycid-syep.netlify.app).
The bigger picture

Connect is step one of the full platform

The same app, accounts, and messaging rails powering this launch already run SYEP for ~1,648 youth and ~200 worksites this summer. Community opt-in is the first public-facing door — the rest is on the same track.
