LIFT Annual Report 2014: What Matters Most | Page 12

Evolving our program.
At LIFT, we are always innovating to provide the best service
possible to our Members. This year we intensified our program in
three key areas in effort to better help Members lift themselves
out of poverty over the long term.

4 to 8

Our volunteer Advocates across the country are deepening
their commitment from 4 hours per week to 8 hours per
week.

60 to 90

Our Advocates now devote 90 minutes to each meeting.
This allows our Members more face time with their
Advocates to workshop goals and Advocates are able to
better prepare for meetings and document progress.

Spotlights

We have instituted Spotlight training for our Advocates
during their shifts. Spotlights are 15-minute professional
development trainings offered every day that help
Advocates deliver better member service on topics like
re-entry into society after prison and resume writing.
