Staff Advocates

Staff advocates are employees who have been designated as the initial points of contact for homeless youth. The goal of our Advocates is to ensure that homeless youth receive appropriate services and guidance to support their success in college.

 

Staff Advocates are responsible for understanding the provisions of the Higher Education Act pertaining to Financial Aid eligibility of current and prospective students, including unaccompanied homeless youth. They also identify and inform students of available and appropriate services (campus and community), including student Financial Aid and other assistance programs.
