One year of service can spark a lifetime of purpose.
In collaboration with Public Health AmeriCorps and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, NACDD is supporting the recruitment, training, and development of the next generation of public health leaders.
NACDD’s Public Health AmeriCorps program recruits AmeriCorps members to support public health efforts across multiple states.

In this moment of global health challenges, change starts locally. Public Health AmeriCorps provides a real-world, practical way to introduce young people to careers in public health.
Qualified candidates can apply for year-long service opportunities in state and local settings to gain first-hand experience building healthier, more resilient communities.
The Center for Advancing Healthy Communities has been working to build healthy and resilient communities across the country.
Public Health AmeriCorps pairs students with experienced public health practitioners in State Health Departments and community-based organizations who are passionate about improving the health and wellness of their communities by addressing:
Food nutrition and security
Access to safe physical activity opportunities
Social connectedness
Your knowledge and passion are all you need to serve.
Public Health AmeriCorps is a program for doers, an opportunity for students to see how theory meets practice and help tackle real challenges facing their communities.Ā
Beyond that, it provides access to practical hands-on training, professional development, and individual mentoring to help grow a career in public health. Join us to help build healthier, more resilient communities for all.
