Illinois State University’s Student Navigators Assist Redbirds through Crises
At the root of student success is having basic needs met. Sometimes circumstances change quickly, and students find themselves in need of temporary help. Our program is a student-led, peer-to-peer model that helps students at Illinois State contending with economic hardship and basic needs crises. Trained Student Navigators help by identifying and connecting students to resources such as emergency aid, affordable food, housing, school supplies, technology, transportation, childcare, mental health care, and personal care items.This program is 100% privately funded by donations from our generous Redbird community.
