Project Summary
Valley Vision is funding a Community Health Worker (CHW) pilot through We Prosper Together that empowers young mothers—particularly those from BIPOC and rural communities in Yolo County—with the skills, support, and career pathways needed to achieve long-term economic mobility. Participants complete CHW certificate training through Sacramento City College and gain hands-on experience with local healthcare systems, building both confidence and real-world expertise. Training includes:
- Patient navigation
- Health education
- Community outreach and prevention
- Climate-related health impacts and resilience
This pilot is designed to open doors, strengthen families, and build workforce pathways that reflect the real needs of our community. The commitment for CAB members includes monthly meetings from January 2026 through September 2026, along with participation in three community forums.
