Community Navigators - Vietnamese, Ukrainian and Indigenous

Summary and download

Community Navigators are trusted community leaders who help shape and inform culturally appropriate communication strategies. They support the dissemination of public health information within institutionally marginalized communities, ensuring messages are accessible, relevant, and responsive to community context.

Core activities within the scope of work include ongoing community engagement and outreach, participation in meetings with Public Health staff, resource navigation and referrals, and the documentation and escalation of community-identified needs and concerns to project monitors. Through this work, Community Navigators contribute to both immediate public health response efforts and longer-term strategies that address broader social determinants of health.

This solicitation seeks leaders from Vietnamese, Ukrainian, and Indigenous communities to serve as Community Navigators helping create culturally appropriate communications and share public health information with institutionally marginalized communities. Indigenous refers to the original peoples of a region who maintain cultural, social, and or ancestral connections to land and community prior to colonization. In this RFA, the term is used broadly and is not limited to Native American communities, and includes, but is not limited to, Indigenous peoples from the Pacific Islands, Latin America, Africa, Asia, and other regions.
