CHRISTUS Health, as a recipient of grant funding, partners with AmeriCorps State and National to provide outreach, education, and navigation services to address the social determinants of health across each of the communities we serve. Significant goals of this partnership are to: 1) Serve communities with concentrated poverty, rural communities, and tribal communities; 2) Create workforce pathways for AmeriCorps members, including deliberate training, such as pre-apprenticeship and apprenticeship opportunities, certifications, and hiring preferences or support; and 3) Enhance member experience by providing opportunities for skill attainment, personal growth, and connections to the community they are serving in support of a lifetime of civic participation. 

To this end, CHRISTUS Health will engage with individuals to serve their communities as AmeriCorps service members. Members serve for a minimum of a one-year term and will not be considered employees of CHRISTUS Health....
