• Being a committee member or chairing a committee for one of the following fundraisers:
  1. Annual Gala (Held in February, plans begin 6-8 months in advance)

Mentoring a resident by establishing an on-going relationship for the following:

• Driving to appointments (medical, school, employment)
• One-on-one life coaching from a Christian perspective
  1. Courteous behaviors towards others (manners) gently reinforced
  2. Assistance preparing a resume and practicing interviewing skills
  3. Personal time spent working to meet individual goals established in case management which support exit strategy from SOLVE.  These include education, employment, housing and childcare.

• Helping resident to prepare for the newborn by guidance in planning what items will be needed  and setting up room appropriately to prepare for bringing baby home.  Some support may be welcomed by the new mom after baby arrives if a warm bond has been established with her during her pregnancy.
