GLIDE’s Center for Social Justice is launching a Black Health Community Action Team (CAT) to engage leaders and community representatives of the Black/African American community across San Francisco in a year-round cohort focused on preventing and mitigating harmful effects of diet-sensitive chronic diseases in the B/AA community through policy, research, and advocacy.
GLIDE will train and engage CAT fellows in the necessary skills to meaningfully engage in determining and implementing policy, system and environmental change strategies. This program includes an hourly stipend for your time.
Community Action Team Fellows will:
-
Attend weekly program meetings with GLIDE Staff
-
Attend weekly GLIDE community event and/or engage in individual program assignments
-
Attend ongoing trainings in community organizing and advocacy provided by GLIDE
-
Conduct community forums, surveys, events, and secondary data analysis during the community engagement period for health equity research.
-
Produce a comprehensive report outlining policy, system, and environmental change recommendations based on community input.
-
Advocate for the policy, system, and environmental change recommendations laid out in the report with the aim of instigating lasting and sustainable positive changes in health outcomes
We hope you will join us for this exciting year-round program, there is a 5 – 7 hour weekly in person commitment for the program. If interested, please fill out this pre assessment.
