about the program
The Equitable Health Project is a paid ambassadorship program that empowers and mobilizes young adults passionate about public health to take action and become champions for health equity in their communities. Ambassadors will receive a $1000 stipend to gain hands-on, practical experience in developing culturally responsive resources and organizing their own outreach events that are strategically tailored to the unique needs and concerns of Asian-American communities.
This upcoming cohort will run from March 24th to June 2nd where ambassadors will learn about the intersection of research, data, and vaccine equity with an added focus on how community advocates can work to address issues of hesitancy within the Asian-American community. During bi-weekly cohort meetings, ambassadors will have the opportunity to learn from their peers and engage with industry professionals to gain valuable expertise and skills through interactive workshops and speaker panels.
