Become a Community Health Champions for Health Equity in the Town of Brookline! The Brookline Department of Public Health and Human Services (“BDPHHS”), the Office of Diversity, Equity, Inclusion and Community Relations (ODEICR), and Women Thriving, Inc. have partnered together to run a pilot for the Community Health Champions Initiative. Health Champions is designed to promote health equity and build trust within our communities.

Participants will:
- Be paid for your time spent in the program
- Receive training to build skills in public health competencies
- Access mentoring
- Help promote local public health events and services within your community
- Participate in project development to meet your community's needs

The application is now live! Please apply at: brooklinema.gov/4023/Application

The application will remain open until the end of December. Residents from diverse and historically underrepresented communities in Brookline are strongly encouraged to apply! For any questions or assistance completing this application, reach out to ODEICR@brooklinema.gov
