Developing the skills to confidently and effectively act as a legal navigator takes time, practice, and mentorship. Our intensive Community Navigator Fellowship Program trains and supports a select group of staff at partner organizations to become fluent in community-based legal navigation.
Through regular trainings, weekly case reviews, and tailored tools and mentorship, the Fellowship Program increases the skill and capacity of frontline providers while providing a testing ground for new interventions and tools. It also allows for data collection on the impact of Community Navigators’ work.
Navigator Fellows:
- Consistently identify legal issues
- Connect clients to relevant legal resources
- Support clients working through legal processes.
To evidence our impact, we carefully track the increasing legal capability of the Fellows and the impact of their work on clients’ poverty-related outcomes.
We are proud to partner with leading Bay Area nonprofits serving families experiencing housing insecurity and poverty.
