Every Spring, the Kansas City Health Department recruits a new group of Community Wellness Ambassadors (CWAs) to take important information into their communities.

CWAs are now some of the Health Department’s best promoters and communicators.

Ambassadors serve a total of 10 months and receive a stipend of $255 per month for their full participation.

They are spread out throughout the city to reach residents in every council district. The Health Department is also recruiting bilingual ambassadors who speak specifically to their communities reducing language barriers.

Qualifications:

• Must be a Kansas City, Mo., resident
• Must be willing to speak to others about resources that benefit community health
• Must be willing to avoid/dispel the spread of misinformation
• Must understand English (as the presenters are English-speaking and interpreter services are currently unavailable)
• Must be willing to complete a form each month, indicating the number of people with whom they’ve shared KCMO health information
• Must be available either on Wednesday mornings (1 x per month) OR Thursday evenings (1 x per month)

The Health Department accepts applications from April 1 to April 30 or until capacity is reached on the application acceptance platform.  Participants will serve as Ambassadors from August through May.
