The Community Health Worker Apprenticeship is a 16 month paid training program offered to former clients and other members of the community. The Apprenticeship combines classroom instruction with on-the-job training. On-the-job training consists of working with clients, reception skills, performing client intakes, use of the HPP database and other computer applications, local resources, outreach, and many other social service skills. In partnership with City College of San Francisco, the CHW apprentices will be required to take 14 units of CHW core courses and upon completion, participants will receive a nationally recognized certification from The Department of Labor.
A CHW is a frontline public health worker who is a trusted member of the community served. A CHW mirrors the population served and builds community through community education, informal counseling, social support, and advocacy. If this is appealing to you, we are excited to meet you!
