Youth and young adults are powerful agents for change and transformation in their communities. Many communities in Contra Costa County are currently in crisis due to COVID-19. In an effort to help reduce the spread of the virus, the COVID-19 Youth/Young Adult Ambassadors have been established in Contra Costa County.
The primary role of the Ambassadors is to help create youth/young adult focused messages about COVID-19 such as how to protect yourself from it, as well as how and where you can get tested for the virus. Once these messages are created the Ambassadors will be asked to use their social media platforms to share these messages with family, friends, and social media platform followers.
If you are a youth or young adult between the ages of 15-24 that is passionate about educating others about health and/or social justice issues, and you are committed to raising awareness about the importance of protecting yourself and others from COVID-19, CONTRA COSTA HEALTH SERVICES (CCHS) WANTS TO HEAR YOUR VOICE AND INVITES YOU to partner with them to develop messages that will be core to this campaign.
CCHS hopes that you will consider applying to be a part of this group, applications must be submitted by Monday, July 27, 2020 at 5:00 p.m.
