Navigator membership
What is a Navigator Session?
A Navigator Session is a focused, private appointment between a member and a KinVouch Navigator. During the 30-minute session:
- 1The member explains one primary situation or concern.
- 2The Navigator asks questions and reviews relevant information.
- 3The member and Navigator identify the desired outcome.
- 4The Navigator helps determine appropriate options and resources.
- 5They create a practical next-step plan.
- 6Responsibilities and deadlines are documented.
- 7A follow-up plan is established when appropriate.
After the session
The member receives a written dashboard summary containing:
- The concern discussed
- The desired outcome
- Recommended next steps
- Relevant organizations and resources
- Documents that may be needed
- The member’s responsibilities
- KinVouch’s agreed-upon responsibilities
- Important deadlines
- The next scheduled action
My Life Update™
A separate 15-minute monthly check-in that helps your Navigator stay familiar with meaningful changes in your life and spot concerns that may need future support. Members may discuss:
- Housing changes
- Employment or education updates
- Upcoming deadlines
- Important appointments
- New concerns
- Progress since the previous month
- Changes to approved contacts
- Recent accomplishments
- Whether an existing case still requires attention
The Navigator adds a brief dated summary to the member’s private timeline. If the update reveals a specific issue requiring research or follow-through, the member may request that it become an active case.
Active cases

One case at a time
Only one case receives active Navigator work at a time. Members may submit another concern, but it will remain queued until the active case is closed or paused.
A case may be closed when
- The stated goal has been reached
- Appropriate resources or instructions have been provided
- The matter has been transferred to a qualified organization
- No additional action is available within KinVouch’s role
- The member asks to stop
- The member does not respond after the established follow-up process
Request and case statuses

Closed cases remain visible in the member’s history subject to KinVouch’s retention policy.
