Bridging Communities - Navigator

Navigators are community members who are trained to understand the different experiences of poverty, to learn about the structural causes of poverty and to gain communication and relationship building skills.  This knowledge prepares and supports the Navigator to work one-on-one with a Neighbor approximately 8-12 hours per month by sharing their contact information and using their networks to assist Neighbors with access to resources and support to move out of poverty. Navigators are supported by the Healthy Community Coalition, Bridging Communities Project Team and Specialty Navigators.
