[UCM LIST: Healthprofadvising-l] CVHN's National Health Corps/AmeriCorps Opportunity

[Erica Robbins]

Message forwarded on behalf of Central Valley Health Network:



National Health Corps (NHC) fosters healthy communities by delivering and connecting those who need it most with health and wellness education, benefits and services, while developing tomorrow's compassionate health leaders.



NHC members are dedicated, dynamic, hard-working people with different backgrounds and experiences who are ready to commit nearly a year of their lives to service. Many NHC members are interested in careers in public health, medicine, or related fields and find that NHC helps inform their next steps, but this is certainly not a requirement. NHC welcomes people with all different interests and future goals!



Most National Health Corps members complete 1,700 hours of service during a 42-46 week service term. Each member is matched with an organization in the community, called a "host site," where they will complete most of their service.



Members help build healthier communities by focusing on one or more of four main areas at their host sites:

  *   Increasing older adults’ (adults 50 and older) ability to remain in their homes with the same or improved quality of life for as long as possible; and
  *   Increasing physical activity and improving nutrition with the purpose of reducing obesity and/or chronic conditions that are linked to obesity.
  *   COVID-19 Response



NHC members also need to meet certain AmeriCorps eligibility criteria. These include:

  *   Members must be at least 18 years of age by the start of the service.
  *   Members must be US Citizens, US nationals, or lawful permanent residents.
  *   Members must have achieved a high school diploma or GED by the start of service.
  *   Members must not have previously served for AmeriCorps State or National terms.

Compensation and Support

  *   Basic living allowance (pre-tax) during the service term.
  *   Free basic health, vision and dental coverage during the service term for those who need it
  *   Student loan forbearance for eligible loans during the service term
  *   $6,000+ Segal AmeriCorps Education Award toward college, technical/trade, or graduate school expenses, or student loans (if eligible) after completing service
  *   Free Member Assistance Program with access to 24-hour assistance from masters-level professionals for mental health counseling, legal and financial assistance, personal assistance, medical advocacy and support for work/life resources.
