The HealthCREW is a 15-month training program for men of color between the ages of 18 and 25. The mission of the Health Community Resources for Empowerment and Wellness (CREW)program is to address health disparities among African American and Latino males, empowering them to take control of their health by engaging in preventative practices, accessing health care services, advocating for their own health needs, and providing health education to peers in their communities, while pursuing their own health career goals. Participants complete a 9-month training component followed by a 6-month internship in a public health, community or hospital setting.  CREW participants are paid a weekly stipend both during the training and in their internships.
