Boost Community Champions Present...A Community Activation Dialogue Series
Want to learn more about the journey to becoming a Boost Community Champion?
Eager to learn more about community activation?
You are in the right place!
Members of Boost's Advanced Training for Community Activation have participated in nearly four months of intensive workshops and small group meetings, which have prepared them to become Boost Community Champions.
As part of this cohort’s capstone projects, we are excited to host a series of live engagements that will be led by teams of Boost Community Champions, who have developed and designed these interactive sessions to share concepts of community building and engagement, as they relate to immunization. These projects focus on applying a community activation framework to either reduce zero-dose children or increase Human papillomavirus vaccine (HPV) coverage.
In addition to registering for this interactive series, we encourage you to join the Community Activation Boost Learning Group to engage with our Boost Community Champions and your peers before and after each live engagement.
Join fellow immunization professionals for experience-sharing, networking, and skills-building to tackle immunization challenges!
