ASU’s College of Health Solutions just received a $3M grant from the federal Health Resources and Services Administration to train 200 community health workers in Arizona over the next two years starting in August.
Applicants must have a high school diploma or equivalent and be U.S. citizens or legal permanent residents. Those selected will receive a $7,500 stipend to complete the two-semesters program, which requires about 10 – 15 hours a week of online training.
After completing the program, newly minted community health workers will be matched with a community organization to participate in a 480-hour internship or a 2,000-hour apprenticeship. Community health workers who complete the 2,000-hour apprenticeship qualify for an additional $7,500 grant.
