Public health offers a wide range of career opportunities for youth Latinxs, who are passionate about making a difference in our communities. However, limited information is provided to our families to know about this field.

​

In 2025, We are conducting five workshops to inform parents and youth to know more about: 

​

1. Community Health Worker (CHW): CHWs play a vital role in connecting communities with health resources and advocating for health equity.

2. Epidemiologist: For those interested in research and data, epidemiologists study disease patterns and work to prevent outbreaks.

3. Health Educator: Educators focus on promoting healthy behaviors and creating awareness about public health issues.

4. Environmental Health Specialist: This role involves addressing environmental factors that impact health, such as water quality and pollution.

5. Public Health Policy Analyst: Analysts work on developing and implementing policies to improve public health systems.

6. Emergency Preparedness Coordinator: These professionals plan and respond to public health emergencies, such as natural disasters or pandemics.

7. Internships and Fellowships: Many organizations, like the CDC, offer internships and training programs for students to explore public health careers.
