Professionalizing community helper role

Anthony Silverman, a Foster America fellow with Larimer County Department of Human Services, helped to build the case and implement a program that formalized and professionalized a role that some had already been playing in their communities: connectors, helpers, and advocates for individuals and families in need. Anthony and Larimer County believed that these connectors and advocates played a critical role in driving towards community well-being, especially for those communities that face the greatest disparities.
