THE PROJECT HAS CONDUCTED INTERGENERATIONAL TOPIC-BASED WORKSHOPS BETWEEN THE FACILITATORS OF FATHERS MAKING PROGRESS (FMP) AND JUNIORS AND SENIORS AT BOTH SHALOM HIGH SCHOOL AND NOVA HIGH SCHOOL.-MILWAUKEE CPHE: INNOVATIVE LEADERS FOR WATER SOLUTIONS. THIS YOUTH PROGRAM ALLOWED THE COMMUNITY WATER SERVICES TO SHARE THEIR MISSION WITH YOUNG PEOPLE WHO WERE TRAINED TO PROTECT THE WATER FROM AVOIDABLE HEALTH HAZARDS. MOST OF THE STUDENTS WERE FRESHMEN WHO BECAME AWARE OF BOTH THE ISSUES AND OPPORTUNITIES RELATED TO WATER QUALITY. WITH A COMMUNITY-BASED FOCUS, THE STUDENTS PLAN ON INVOLVING AND WORKING WITH THEIR FAMILIES IN ORDER TO CONTINUE BUILDING TRUST AND UNDERSTANDING IN THE COMMUNITY. WORKING TOGETHER, THEY PLAN TO CREATE A MOVEMENT TO BECOME A CONTAMINANT-FREE COMMUNITY THROUGH AWARENESS AND COLLABORATION.-ALBUQUERQUE CPHE: COMMUNITY HEALTH SPECIALISTS. THE HEALTH PROFESSIONALS (INTERNATIONAL MEDICAL GRADUATES WHO CANNOT PRACTICE IN THE US, BECAUSE THEIR CREDENTIALS ARE NOT RECOGNIZED) HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO MEET WITH FOUR MEMBERS OF THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES FOR THE STATE OF NEW MEXICO.

THEY SHARED WITH THE ELECTED OFFICIALS THEIR WILLINGNESS TO JOIN THE HEALTH SECTOR IN ANY VIABLE CAPACITY THAT COULD MEET THE NEEDS OF THE POPULATION.-ALBUQUERQUE CPHE: LOS PIONEROS. YOUTH LEADERS SHARED THEIR KNOWLEDGE AND RAISED CONSCIOUSNESS AMONG OTHER STUDENTS IN ORDER TO HELP THEM DEEPEN THEIR COMPREHENSION OF ENVIRONMENTAL RISKS IN THEIR COMMUNITIES.
