The community resource assistants will support social workers that provide specialized services to at-risk children and families. The community resource assistants will also be involved with special projects to increase public awareness of health care services for low-income, uninsured and under insured families and increase public awareness of the importance of child and adult immunizations.
The award for AmeriCorps members is made possible by the Alexandria Department of Human Services, the Virginia Community Corps Initiative and the Virginia Commission on National and Community Service and the Corporation on National Services.
