The St. James Advocate Program trains community members to connect neighbors, family members, and friends to critical resources, information and opportunities. The advocates play a critical role in connecting residents who are new to the community or have limited English language skills to information and resources. 

After successful fundraising, workshops, and outreach for the Healthy Housing Initiative, we were invited back to build the Community Advocate Program for the City of St. James. Though a community engagement and research process we created a framework for a sustainable and replicable Community Advocate Program. This program included community trainings, workshops, direct mail campaign, and the development of a roadmap for future stewardship.
