The Peer-to-Peer Navigators (P2PN) are young adults that can harness their lived experiences in navigating foster care to engage, empower and connect with youth currently involved with the child welfare system. As compared to other professionals working with the foster care system who may lack these unique experiences and perspectives, P2PN serve as credible messengers that may be better positioned to authentically and meaningfully engage with youth experiencing a range of feelings as they enter the foster care system. The role of the credible messenger is crucial to the P2P Program. Credible messengers develop authentic long-term relationships with young people. They stay connected, serving as real and present guides as youth navigate the difficult path of life, and offer firsthand wisdom about challenges youth face while navigating the foster care system. The P2PN must embody the belief that young people who have experienced adversity have unique strengths and skills that can be nurtured and developed in supporting their own healing and future success. It is for young people for whom reunification, adoption, KLG are being pursued, which the P2PN can assist youth in navigating. The P2PN will concretely mentor and support young people ages 14-21 in foster care during their preparation for adulthood by helping them to increase their ability to articulate themselves with professionals and informal supports and work toward achieving their goals. P2PN mentoring involves supporting youths in learning to build and strengthen their relationships with professionals, informal supports, school systems, and communities. Ultimately, the P2PN’s mentorship will increase a youth’s capacity to interact with professionals, informal supports, and their social networks and to initiate connections to resources on their own.
