For too long, community health workers (CHWs) have been excluded from discussions that influence their work and communities. That’s why “Advocacy Training for Community Health Workers” is a critical course to share with CHWs around the world.

This free mobile training equips CHWs with the skills to effectively share their personal stories and promote the health issues most important to their communities. We worked with the Community Health Impact Coalition and an advisory group of CHWs from around the world to ensure that all content is action-oriented and reflective of the realities of CHWs’ work and the challenges they face.

The course covers:
1. The history and background of CHW programs
2. How to advocate for improved health care and working conditions
3. How to tell personal stories to advocate for change
4. How to use technology tools to participate in global conversations
