Community Health Worker Oncology Training Program
This CSC program provides education & support to community health workers (CHWs) who work with people who are affected by or living with cancer.
Our CHW Oncology-focused Training Program is for community health workers who are interested in gaining skills and knowledge to better assist members of their community impacted by cancer. The program provides free cancer-specific educational resources and intentional opportunities for CHWs to share best practices and build peer connections.

Our free forum series offers CHWs the opportunity to learn about key cancer navigation topics from experts. Each forum features interactive Q&A sessions, opportunities to network & share best practices with other CHWs, and more. Register for an upcoming forum or watch recordings of our past forums below.
