Develop Leadership Skills

Statewide CHW Conference

In 2019, MACHW collaborated with the Massachusetts Department of Public Health to organize a Statewide Community Health Worker (CHW) Conference. This event has traditionally served as a platform for CHWs across the Commonwealth to unite and celebrate our collective accomplishments. MACHW will keep you informed about future conferences and other opportunities for CHWs to connect, learn, and network in a post-pandemic environment.

Policy Leadership Institute

MACHW is partnering with Health Care for All and Partners for Health to establish an annual Policy Leadership Institute for CHWs interested in advocating for policy and practice changes. CHWs who complete the training will be connected to Boards of Health, Boards of Directors, Task Forces, or committees in their region seeking CHW representatives. 

Participants will visit the State House, meet with their local representative, and draft a policy (legislative or organizational) that will promote/support the CHW workforce.
