National CHW Awareness Week

National CHW Awareness Week (NCHWAW) 2024 will be August 26-30th.  This 2nd annual week of collaboration and action unites CHWs and allies across race, ethnicity, gender, geography, experience, and identities.

The National Association of CHWs has made a toolkit to make it easy for you to spread awareness of CHWs during this week. *Note- their social media graphics are not in the toolkit but are below.  

The toolkit includes an easy template for reaching out to legislators about YOUR issues, and how to talk to them when you meet with them! 

NCHWAW 2024 is an opportunity for CHWs and allies to spread the word about CHWs’ unique core roles, our contributions to community health and wellbeing, and our capacity for leadership. Let’s work together to promote policies that respect, protect, and authentically partner with CHWs and our communities.
