Empowering Native Youth. Building Resilient Communities

Welcome to Climate-Ready Tribal Community Health Representatives (TCHR), a groundbreaking initiative designed to raise new generations of Tribal health workers through culturally relevant training in public health, climate resilience, and emergency preparedness.

By providing culturally relevant education, professional certification, and practical experience, the program aims to address both immediate and long-term health challenges faced by Tribal communities. Through this initiative, Native youth will be equipped with the tools, skills, and confidence to make a lasting impact on their communities while fostering a healthier, more resilient future.

This program is not only a pathway for career development but also a means to strengthen the connection between Tribal traditions and modern public health approaches, ensuring that future generations continue to thrive in the face of evolving challenges. As the project advances, its foundation of collaboration, cultural integrity, and community engagement will serve as a model for addressing health equity and climate resilience in Tribal communities nationwide.
