How It Works

Simple Steps to Get the Help You Need

Getting connected to services shouldn't be complicated. With Rosie, it's as easy as having a conversation.

01

Start a Conversation

Just tell Rosie what you need help with. You can type naturally—there's no special format or complicated forms. Rosie understands context and will ask follow-up questions if needed.

Example:

"I need help finding a place to stay" or "I'm looking for a job"

02

Get Matched with Resources

Rosie searches through hundreds of local programs to find services that match your specific situation. She considers eligibility requirements, location, and availability.

Example:

Rosie might ask about your age, location, or specific needs to find the best matches

03

Connect with Services

Get clear information about each program, including what they offer, how to apply, and the next steps to get help. Rosie can explain requirements and help you prepare.

Example:

You'll learn contact info, hours, what to bring, and what to expect

Here are some example conversations showing how Rosie can help you find resources

Finding Emergency Housing

I need a place to stay tonight
I can help you find emergency housing. Are you currently under 25 years old?
Yes, I'm 19
Great, there are several youth-specific shelters that can help. The Youth Emergency Shelter on Telegraph Ave has beds available tonight and accepts walk-ins until 10pm. Would you like directions or more options?

Job Search Help

I want to find a job but I don't have experience
No problem! There are programs designed to help you get started. Are you interested in job training, direct employment, or both?
Both would be good
I'd recommend checking out Youth Employment Partnership. They offer paid training in various fields plus job placement assistance. They're accepting applications now. Want me to tell you more about their programs?

Mental Health Support

I've been feeling really stressed and anxious lately
I'm glad you reached out. There are several free counseling services for young people in Alameda County. Would you prefer in-person sessions or telehealth options?
Telehealth would be easier for me
Fred Finch Youth Center offers free telehealth counseling with no waitlist for TAY. They also have a crisis line if you ever need immediate support. Should I share how to get started?
