Our first Health Agents’ class was initially adopted by our Clemson University Chapter. We have now run the class with four different groups of teenagers interested in community health education and have identified key elements needed to adapt the program and reach our objectives.

The new program is run after school to reach the most dedicated youth willing to make the commitment. It will consist of monthly trainings with a community outreach assignment tied to each month’s topic. Topics include leadership, sexual health, hygiene, and mosquito-borne illnesses. Volunteer work is incorporated within the program and once the volunteers have completed the program they receive a certificate, t-shirt and additional training as community health education needs arise. After graduating from the program, they will assist FIMRC with additional outreach efforts within their communities!
