Let's Get Movin'

 

The Let's Get Movin' program is now accepting applications for the East Boston Neighborhood Health Center's Community HealthCorps program.

HealthCorps members run Let's Get Movin' afterschool programs and playgroups, providing physical activity opportunities and nutrition education. Members also support parent programming and have the opportunity to work on additional projects in the community and at the health center.

For more information, please contact Kathy Field at 617-568-4865 or e-mail fieldk@ebnhc.org.

Applications to the HealthCorps program will be accepted until July 1, 2010. The program is a one-year commitment, starting September 2010 and ending August 2011.

Community HealthCorps is a national AmeriCorps program that promotes health care for America’s underserved, while developing tomorrow’s health care workforce. HealthCorps members reach out to individuals with no regular primary care provider to increase access to health care, provide health education and support that lead to appropriate use of health care services and better “self-care” by health center patients, and recruit and develop volunteers to support community health centers.
