This team of volunteers will set up, and host community health education events to promote health equity understanding in various communities across Chicagoland. The volunteers will help organize, create flyers, post on social media, and manage the 5 types of community health events: 1. P.E.P. Talks Webinar series; 2. Health Equity Interactive Workshops; 3. Health Education Talks; 4. Brown Bag Rx & Health Screening; 5. Benefits Clinic & Health Coverage. These events will take place in three different locations in Suburban Cook and Collar counties over the period of next 7 months.
Volunteers will learn the health equity language, be introduced to health equity measures, develop skills to work with social determinants of health, and build competency to work with health disparities. Top-performing volunteers will be recognized at the State level.
