GROW: Community Navigator

The Community Navigator program was established by United Way of Kaw Valley in partnership with many agencies across our community to build the capacity of non-profit partners, engage more community volunteers, and support individuals and families across our community. Some Navigators will be available at the Topeka & Shawnee County Public Library, Fellowship Hi-Crest (Avondale East), and East Topeka Senior center.

This program helps connect individuals to services and resourses in the community that can help them become more financially stable and creates a long-lasting connection to organizations that can assist individuals in the future as well. This allows for those most in need in our community have a successful initial meeting to access community resources and programs.

Volunteers will help clients:

• prepare paperwork including online applications
• gather documentation
• access community resources that might benefit and/or support their needs.
