APC’s mission is working to end homelessness and its symptoms by providing permanent housing and supportive services to create communities where formerly homeless families and individuals can flourish. To be housed at APC, residents must be experiencing chronic homelessness at time of entry and, at least one head of household must have a permanent disability (mental and/or physical). APC currently uses the decommissioned naval base to house a total of 500 residents. To help break the cycles and symptoms of homelessness for these residents, APC uses supportive services with its permanent housing. These services range from literacy programming, substance abuse counseling, therapy, case management, children and youth programming, adult programming, and employment and education training.
APC is looking for a Communications professional to teach a 1.5 hour workshop to our residents as part of our Life Skills Course. We are hoping to have the course cover the following: how to communicate your own needs, and how to deal with conflict. Learning the importance of body language and also how to properly ask questions.
We would like the volunteer to have a brief presentation, and then have an activity or two for the residents to practice their communication skills.
