Become a Resident Navigator
The navigator guides those aging out of foster care who become residents of the Wholistic Transformation campus towards developing and meeting their goals through resources from vetted community agencies and healthcare providers where applicable. The Navigator will help remove obstacles so that clients can achieve their chosen direction by assisting each resident in developing their unique skills and talents, health and spiritual growth to gain stability for success after leaving the program.

- Develop the program curriculum to include the larger foster care community.
- Develop an outreach plan and application for youth who will enroll in the program and who are interested in becoming residents at the WT campus, including a lease, property rules, and a cooperative maintenance plan as companion documents for the individualized plan(s).
- Develop a series of databases for applications, tracking client progress and credit earnings, agency networks and referrals, and property maintenance.
- Begin vetting of the first participants as the "founding" cohort of WT residents.
- Assist with the development of policies and procedures for the Wholistic Transformation operations including the application process, grievance procedures, safety protocols, mentoring opportunities, relationship commitments, facility repairs, and the roles and responsibilities of staff, the Resident Navigator and the program participants.
