Community Health Worker Training Program - Life and Discovery, Inc. (dba Asian American Center of Frederick) 45 East All Saints Street, Frederick, MD 21701-5633 Elizabeth Chung, Executive Director/PI 301-788-2870 echung@aacfmd.org www.aacfmd.org Request amount: $2,573,341 Funding preference - yes - 50% underserved populations AACF proposes to expand our existing accredited CHW certification program to provide CHW training, health support worker education, apprenticeships and employer support. The Work Plan is aligned with the four CHWTP goals (1. Expansion, 2. Extension/Upskilling, 3. Employment, 4. Equity) and has an SDOH-oriented methodology with three strategies (1. Transformative Learning; 2. Dynamic Partnerships; and 3. Lifelong Learning.) In three years (September 15, 2022 to September 14, 2025), we propose to serve 150 participants, at least 50% of whom will serve in Health Provider Shortage Areas and represent underserved populations, particularly ethnic minorities. Trainees, CHWs, health support workers and apprentices will receive training and employment opportunities, as well as financial support, consistent with HRSA workforce program aims: access, supply, distribution, and quality. Three apprentice cohorts (28 apprentices total) will participate in experiential learning in employer-sponsored apprenticeship placements across a wide, cross-sector range of entities.
