System Navigation

System Navigators

System Navigators serve as a bridge between various programs at Restorative Partners and a link to community resources. They hold regular meetings with program participants to assess and respond to their needs, in addition to holding office hours for drop-in support with everything from employment to housing to transportation.

The System Navigators also coordinate and host regular Reentry Support Workshops on topics such as resume and cover letter building, budgeting, etc. for program participants. These workshops provide opportunities for current and new participants to connect with RP, access supportive services, and build skills.
