Quick CHW Lesson.

What is a Community Health Worker, and why do communities keep asking for more of them? This is built for people considering the work, people hiring for it, and people who are just curious.

A job title for what you do but didn't know the name.

Community Health Workers coach, translate, facilitate, map, advocate, and knock on doors. This is a fast, unserious-look, but entirely accurate tour of the work with pictures.

Pick the reason you're here
You're thinking about the work

You already do half of this for free. See what it looks like with a title, a paycheck, and a certification behind you.

You're hiring, or wondering if you should

Find out which of your open positions is actually a CHW role, and what a trained staff member changes about your outcomes.

You just got curious

Someone said "CHW" and you nodded like you knew. Fix that in five minutes. Nobody has to find out.

How this works
1
Each page cover a CHW idea. Click through or jump around. Your place is not saved and nothing is graded.
2
Every page ends with questions. They're for you and there's no answer box. We have other places to interact with the team.
3
The last page tells you where to go next. Library, syllabus, or the Community Health Club.
Fair warning

This is an introduction, not the training. It skips the ethics, the documentation, the scope-of-practice, and the parts that are hard. If it makes you want the real version, the CHW Foundation syllabus is in this library, and we'd love to chat with you about joining or putting together a cohort.

I'm ready!
