2023 Green Communities and Public Health Training

Meeting Dates: 
Thursday, November 2, 2023
Meeting Time and Location: 

9am-1pm

Note: 

We will explore alternative environment options that will improve our daily living, especially within BIPOC communities. How will a green community improve the living environments? Are green communities plausible, viable, and sustainable for all communities? If so, how to access and create it in a BIPOC space? Also, we will discuss healthy living practices to improve people of color mortality and morbidity rates.

Intended Audience: All interested persons are welcome to apply to attend update training courses. Applicants who are employed and/or volunteering at a State-funded agency may receive priority for course placement.

Participation Requirements: In order to receive proof of attendance, training participants are required to log into the virtual platform on time, attend the entire training, and have microphone and camera access. Attendance log-in and out times will be monitored. Do not plan to arrive late or leave early. Late arrival is considered logging into the training fifteen (15) minutes after the start of the training. Late arrivals will not be permitted to enter the virtual training and will result in a no-call/no-show for training attendance; supervisors will be notified.
