Community Health Workers are equipped with the tools and resources necessary to bring about a change in the form of a rapid chain reaction. This session will introduce a model, using collaboratively collected data between the USA and India, which can assist CHWs to engage with each other, organize campaigns and events and, also, successfully showcase their results and data.  The CHW Model focuses on the practices, strategies, plans and implementation techniques needed to organize a community health event based on diverse agendas: health, environment and minorities. This session will include past successful events, change in impact numbers globally and assistance in public health emergencies, such as COVID-19 or environmental catastrophes, such as hurricanes and tornados.
