Course Details

This 3-day class is your opportunity to learn the successful Community Health Improvement Partners (CHIP) approach to health education and community empowerment. You will learn how to use CHIP’s Resident Leadership Academy (RLA) curriculum to educate neighborhood residents on how environments shape health outcomes and empower them to advocate for healthy community living. You will learn and practice using the curriculum to educate community leaders, build community health worker programs, and explore strategies and techniques to facilitate local leaders’ organizing and mobilizing for action. Since its founding in 2011, RLA graduates have improved their communities through healthy food access and the creation of pocket farms and community gardens, improved public safety, neighborhood beautification, increased physical activity opportunities in their neighborhoods, and advocated for pedestrian and traffic safety improvements around neighborhood schools. Participants are asked to bring their own laptops and power cords.
