Maya Severson, Workforce Development Program Manager

On behalf of CHCACT, I'm very excited to welcome our new cohort of Service to Improve Community Health (STICH) AmeriCorps members! Over the past few days, our first round of new STICH members have been going through pre-service orientation, learning the ins and outs of the program, as well as information about health centers, health insurance literacy and other topics that will prepare them for their 10-month term of service in one of CT's health centers. This year's members come from 5 different states but all share a commitment to improving the health of their community through service.

 I'm also thrilled to share that Emily LeGeyt, one of last year's STICH members, has joined the CHCACT team as the STICH Program Coordinator. Having such recent first-hand experience makes Emily the perfect link to the members as they learn about the program in general, and then as they get acclimated to their health center placements.

We'll be sure to update you about all of the impacts our members have throughout the program year! And you can follow the STICH AmeriCorps program on facebook for photos and other news.

Have any questions about STICH, or know someone who might be interested in participating? Get in touch!

Maya.
