The Edward M. Kennedy Community Health Center, Inc. is seeking two dedicated Community Outreach Workers (COWs) to enhance the well-being of underserved populations through educational and healthcare initiatives. These professionals will serve as vital links between the health center and local school districts hosting our school-based health centers (SBHCs).
The SBHCs are designed to deliver exceptional medical, dental, and behavioral health services to children in their educational environments, thereby promoting academic success and supporting families in maintaining employment. The outreach worker model aims to broaden access to healthcare, improve health outcomes, and address disparities in health equity.
In addition to traditional outreach efforts, the COWs will assist refugees, immigrants, and other newcomers in navigating the intricate educational enrollment processes. The role will involve rotating among various schools, health center locations, and Parent Information Centers (PICs) within the districts.
Key Responsibilities:
- Enhance visibility and increase enrollment at SBHCs by participating in school and community events.
- Support refugees, immigrants, and new arrivals in understanding and accessing educational and healthcare systems through collaboration with local PICs and refugee clinics.
- Work alongside medical enrollment specialists to assist families with health insurance applications.
- Facilitate youth empowerment initiatives through the creation and management of youth programs.
- Act as a liaison for community partners and service providers.
- Develop and maintain a calendar of events for schools and the health center to share with SBHC staff and community stakeholders.
- Design programs aimed at addressing health concerns within the student population, including classroom-based health education.
Benefits: This position offers a living allowance, health coverage, an educational award upon successful completion of service, and training opportunities.
