IPHA AmeriCorps

We work to strengthen the field of public health through the development of skilled and committed leaders. Also we are an organization that works to support local public health activities, promote community awareness, and engage volunteers.

The Illinois Public Health AmeriCorps Program serves as a valuable link in building a strong public health workforce in Illinois - a core component of the Association’s mission. This opportunity to mentor individuals into the field of public health and human services is a logical and appropriate role for the Association. Those members recruited for the program will receive extensive orientation, mentoring, and guidance in exploring the public health field as a career – and potentially working within Illinois communities.
