SUMMARY:
The 211 information and referral line of UWCNM provides callers throughout Central NM with information on a broad range of community, social, health and government resources. UWCNM 211 is partnering with CONNECT to create a central phone number individuals can contact to be linked to resources. CONNECT is a joint project of the City of Santa Fe and Santa Fe County to create a network of navigators who make referrals and provide navigation services to individuals throughout Santa Fe. Navigators are community health workers, volunteers, or social workers who link people to services and resources in the community. Agencies in the CONNECT network are connected through a shared technology platform enabling navigators to send and receive secure electronic referrals, address residents’ social needs, and improve individual and community health. The goal of CONNECT is to ensure the health and social needs of individuals are being met and to support the agencies who are providing much needed services to these individuals.
Under the direction of the 211 Manager and Santa Fe Area Director, the CONNECT 211 Coordinator will support the work of United Way and CONNECT.

The Santa Fe CONNECT 211 Coordinator will utilize the iCarol platform for data collection and the Unite Us platform to provide navigation services and to make referrals to the CONNECT network.
