The
Community-Based Public Health (CBPH) Caucus wants to
support five committed youth leaders to attend and participate in the 2016 American Public Health Association (APHA) Conference in Denver, CO.
And we're hoping that you and other community-minded public health professionals will pitch in toward a "Go Fund Me" fundraising campaign to help make it happen.
As you know, the CBPH is a part of APHA,
and we are committed to fostering
the practice and understanding of CBPH in research, teaching, and practice. With a CBPH approach, communities work in partnership with public health practitioners and academics to identify issues, mobilize resources, and implement strategies to solve problems. We involve youth because we
know how important it is to make sure this important, collaborative work continues into the next generation.
 Empowering our youth to attend the annual APHA Conference is a critical component toward helping them to become the public health leaders of the future. Their participation also gives APHA conference participants the opportunity to hear, first hand, the voice of today's youth, as they deal with a wide range of public health issues and concerns.
Please visit our "Go Fund Me" page to learn more about CBPH Caucus youth activities--and to contribute toward helping br
ing critical youth perspectives and passion to our public health arena.
Any amount (even $5) would be greatly appreciated.
P.S. Again,
please give by August 8, as we hope to register youth participants in time for the APHA early-bird registration date of
August 11, 2016. Thank you.
