Role/Responsibilities of Youth Advocate for the Orange Duffel Bag Foundation
To ensure sustainability of the youth’s life plan and to manage the ongoing opportunities in the areas of employment, education and housing, students in the 12 week program will be matched with a team of 5-7 advocates. Each advocate has a minimum of monthly contact with at least one student to encourage and support the problem-solving skills and tools acquired during the coaching program. ODBF’s model encourages the youth to call upon their advocates as their Life Plan unfolds for as long as the youth chooses.
Please note: Every advocate is required to attend the final class and at least three other classes during the 12 week program to establish rapport with the youth.
