Foundations for Community Health Workers

Aligned to the C3 Project Every chapter maps to the Community Health Worker Core Consensus (C3) Project’s core roles and skills, with a C3 Review Checklist that helps learners and programs track progress toward national standards.

23 Real CHW Profiles Each chapter features a working community health worker sharing their motivations, contributions, and practical tips for those entering the profession.

Educational Videos Short videos — via QR codes in print and direct links in the e-book — feature CHW interviews, skill role-plays, and “counter” role-plays that show what to avoid.

Real-World Case Studies Case studies from leading clinics and organizations highlight better-practice standards and bring each chapter’s competencies to life.

Companion Training Guide A free Training Guide offers step-by-step training plans and assessment resources for every chapter, plus additional educational videos.

Rooted in Equity & Cultural Humility Throughout, the book centers social justice, cultural humility, and person- and community-centered practice that respects the wisdom and autonomy of CHWs and the communities they serve.
