COMMUNITY HEALTH WORKERS

Providing support and creating opportunities

Our Community Health Workers help individuals and families experiencing homelessness within the community. The Community Health Worker program is designed to help those they work with to navigate their immediate needs and access community services. Working closely with the Great Rivers HUB and local school districts, our CHW team is able to assist and support their clients by advocating for individual and community health needs.

What we do:

The Y Community Health Worker program was enhanced with support on Y Giving Day, and as a result, our team is better able to meet the immediate needs of their clients. One example is that during the holidays, our CHWs were able to provide gifts for the children in their caseloads.
