Invitation
Hi All.
I am looking for people who would like to join me in studying the role that an Information Advocate might play in neighborhoods, community centers and churches. This role might include ordinary neighborhood news, but also personal, one-on-one "real needs" counseling and match making to help people find the social supports and material connections needed to make their everyday living work more smoothly.
Please write back if you'd like to learn more...
