POSITION: Healthy CUNY Advocates and Team Leaders
ORGANIZATION: Healthy CUNY
Healthy CUNY is a CUNY-wide initiative sponsored by the CUNY Graduate School of Public Health & Health Policy that promotes the health of CUNY’s 270,000 degree and 230,000 non-degree students in order to support their academic and life success.
Healthy CUNY is currently hiring pandemic displaced workers who are CUNY students to conduct educational, outreach, and benefit enrollment activities on CUNY campuses and to CUNY students living in neighborhoods most affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. These Healthy CUNY Advocates, funded by the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation and the NYC Department of Small Business Services, will create multimedia campaigns that encourage eligible CUNY students to enroll in SNAP and connect to other emergency food programs in order to provide more consistent access to healthy, affordable food. In addition, CUNY Health advocates will promote and connect CUNY students to NYC Care, a low-cost
healthcare program provided by NYC Health + Hospitals for New Yorkers who cannot afford, or are not eligible for health insurance. The Advocates will also connect CUNY students with existing health and social programs on their campuses and in the community, again using multi-media campaigns to facilitate enrollment.
The result of these efforts will be to increase the number of CUNY students who are food secure and have access to healthcare, thus supporting college persistence and graduation. Spring semester activities may expand to include outreach for other student essential needs such as mental health services. Advocates will be based on high-need CUNY campuses where previous Healthy CUNY studies show high numbers of students are experiencing food and other essential needs insecurities.
Paid advocacy opportunities are now available to CUNY undergraduate and graduate students, with a special recruitment focus on the Bronx CUNY Campuses. These new Healthy CUNY Advocates will engage in outreach and education activities to connect their peers to public benefits and other resources that help students meet their essential needs (such as food security and healthcare). Specific eligibility criteria are outlined in the attached job description, along with details on the role, commitment and payment for these positions.
New Advocates will be accepted on a rolling basis through the Spring semester, and continuing through the Summer and Fall.
