About the Co-Pilot Program

​

Co-Pilot volunteers (that's you!) and an UPLIFT Participant will become a Co-Pilot pair and meet weekly to work towards your Co-Pilot's goals.  You will serve as a liaison between your Co-Pilot and resources in the community, advocating for their success. 

​

Your priority is to ensure that your Co-Pilot has the necessary tools to access resources, whether connecting them with medical services or helping obtain required documentation for employment and housing.  The consistency and support that you offer will bring a familiarity and personal touch to the relationship. 

​

You will empower your Co-Pilot to achieve their goals through a mutually beneficial relationship, ultimately resulting in your Co-Pilot feeling valued and a part of our community. 

Examples of Co-Pilot Goals Include:

  • Health Care Services

  • Identification Documents

  • SSI

  • CalFresh

  • Shelter

  • Phone

  • Low-Income Housing Applications

  • Employment
