Empowering Black Women to be Tomorrow's Health Advocats
Advocate Training Program 2008: Empowering Black Women to be Tomorrow's Health Activists
CABWHP will soon begin training a new group of Los Angeles health advocates through our innovative Advocate Training Program (ATP). The 2008 ATP will have a special cohort for young women ages 18-24. However, applications from sisters of all ages are welcome. The ATP is designed to train women from the grassroots community to become effective health policy activists and advocates. Since 2002, the Advocate Training Program has produced sixty-five women's health advocates trained in Black women's health issues, media advocacy, community organizing, strategy development and policy advocacy. In 2006, we trained our inaugural Northern California class of advocates in the East Bay.
The 2008 ATP will empower a new set of health advocates to enrich our advocacy, activism and dialogue with policy makers. Applications are available now! Space is limited so submit your application as early as possible!
Apply Now! Space is Limited!
Young women who complete our program will each receive a $250 college scholarship for the 2008-2009 academic year!
For more information, contact us at?310 412-1828 x15 or adrienne@cabwhp.org.

Free Health Fair
Free Health Fairs Providing Free Medical Services to Communities
“Fiesta de la Salud” is a promotion that brings health related services FREE OF CHARGE to community members at their local grocery store. Services offered include screenings for cancer, diabetes, cholesterol, bone density and blood pressure. Children’s services will include FREE doctors exams, FREE immunizations, and FREE dental exams.
