The Mayor’s Office for Economic Opportunity is partnering with the Hunter Silberman School of Social Work Community Navigators to provide workshops to train peer Navigators to better connect young people to services and support.

The Mayor’s Office for Economic Opportunity (NYC Opportunity) is excited to announce our support for the Community Navigators Institute at the Silberman School of Social Work at Hunter College. With funding from NYC Opportunity, the Community Navigators Institute (CNI) is offering free workshops for staff in community based organizations, peer mentors, credible messengers, and those generally interested in peer workforce social service models. Attendees will learn effective tools and strategies for the community care they provide at their respective organizations. Topics that will be covered include an introduction to social service navigation, holistic approaches to case management, community engagement, stakeholder management, data & tracking, and more. Each workshop will be facilitated by staff from the Community Navigator Program at the Silberman School of Social Work at Hunter College.
