Community Health Worker
A Community Health Worker (CHW) assists individuals by providing health education, advocacy, and support to improve overall well-being. They help connect people to healthcare services, assist with navigating insurance and social services, promote disease prevention, and offer guidance on managing chronic conditions. CHWs also provide outreach, conduct wellness screenings, and address social determinants of health such as housing, food security, and employment. Their goal is to bridge the gap between communities and healthcare systems, ensuring individuals receive the resources and support needed for a healthier life.
Neighborhood Hero's Mentorship Program
A six-week recidivism and diversion program for youth called "I Rise," which promotes self-discovery, growth, and empowerment. The accompanying caregiver course, "Parenting Revised," offers tools and support to effectively parent children who have been incarcerated or troubled, aiming to break the cycle of criminal justice involvement.
Each of these programs is designed to provide youth with the tools, skills, and support they need to thrive in various aspects of their lives.
