What happens on the bus?
The Bluebird Bus Of Hope will be partnering with organizations and businesses to reach communities in rural areas at community events, special events, and also have regular open hours. Below are the steps of what to expect when making an appointment or walking in during our 'Open Hours'.
FIRST- Welcome!
Welcome to the Bluebird Bus Of Hope! You have taken the first steps to hope! We are so glad that you are here. Our trained volunteer mentors are here to support you. Imagine this visit as having coffee with a friend and making a plan for hope.
SECOND-Life Assesment
We know that when we are feeling hopeless or in a crisis situation we may not even know what it is we need to get us out of the situation we are in. That is why we have created a Life Assessment Test. After you complete this assessment we will be able to determine what the top 3 priority services are that would benefit you.
THIRD- FREE Drink!
While you are completing the assessment, let me get you a drink. We have a free cafe on board the bus. We have lattes, cappuccinos, iced coffee, lemonade, flavored water of the day, and more to choose from! Check out our menu!
FOURTH- Let's Talk!
Ok. You have completed the assessment, you have a delicious drink to sip on, now it's time to talk with your mentor. The assessment test tells us what community services would best serve you. Let's get to know each other and make an action plan together.
FIFTH- Connect You
Before you even came on board we have been developing partnerships with amazing organizations in your county. They are fully ready to serve you. We will connect you and help bridge the gap from the bus to the service you need. Our bus is equipped with Wifi and computers to help you apply online. We will be with you every step of the way making sure you are fully connected and receiving the resources you need to be successful. The Bluebird Bus Of Hope also has community groups and educational classes to help you on your path.
SIXTH- Come Back!
At Bluebird Bus Of Hope we don't want to simply help you get connected, we want to walk with you on your journey. We know that it take time to make long-term life transformation. You are not alone on this walk. We want you to come back and meet with your mentor for a follow up. At that time you will be able to determine if your action plan needs to be adjusted. It is our goal for you to feel independent and make life-affirming choices for yourself and your family, no matter how long it takes we are here.
