Want more experience with program development and project coordination? Looking to act in a leadership role or as a mentor?

NACCHO is excited to offer two (2) full scholarships to Public Health AmeriCorps alumni who have previously attended NACCHO360 to act as “Conference Guides” for this year’s cohort of Public Health AmeriCorps members. Guides will play a primary role in supporting the PHA scholarships recipients’ experience during the conference.

While the primary duties of the Conference Guides will be to support PHA members, we want to make sure that selected Guides are also able to enjoy the conference, including attending sessions, plenaries, and other conference activities. Please expect a very active week that will likely be both tiring and rewarding.

Please note: there are two NACCHO360 scholarship opportunities currently available. You should fill out this application if you have previously attended NACCHO360 in the past / received a scholarship to attend NACCHO360. This scholarship includes 4 nights of hotel, flight and taxi to/from the conference, conference registration, and a daily per diem. Any costs incurred outside of those amounts must be personally covered.

Please reach out to Vicki Lee, vlee@naccho.org, with any questions.

For thirty years, the American Public Health Association has organized National Public Health Week. Taking place during the first full week of April each year, National Public Health Week is an occasion to recognize the contributions of public health and highlight issues that are important to improving the nation’s health. Join us for the 30th anniversary of National Public Health Week to celebrate successes, look ahead to upcoming challenges, and create a vision for the future.

This year’s theme, “It Starts Here”, reminds us that public health starts with each of us making a difference in our homes and communities. Public health is how the places we live, work, and play affect our well-being. It’s the way we are all stronger—and healthier—together.
