School-based support to assess and address student, family, and school needs to improve attendance.
School-Based Community Navigator Initiative
About The Initiative
Research tells us the presence of one caring adult can make a difference in the life of a child, and that’s the kind of support THE SCHOOL-BASED COMMUNITY NAVIGATOR INITIATIVE provides to students and their families in a school-setting.
The school-based community navigator provides an array of prevention and early intervention strategies for individuals, small groups, and the school community. They also coordinate with community partners to connect students and families to resources and services to prevent chronic absenteeism.
