For these cohorts, health centers will receive stipends to offset the cost of productivity while their staff attends these trainings. For each CHW who successfully completes the entire training program, their center will receive a $1,500 stipend.  

Each health center can send a max of 4 CHWs to these trainings to allow for multiple centers to benefit.  If there are additional CHWs on your team that you would like to be considered if space allows, please email chwinitiatives@massleague.org  

If you are interested in this opportunity but are unable to attend either of these training cohorts, please contact the League’s CHW team for us to add you to a waitlist for future sessions.
