15th Night's OHA-approved CHW training includes 80 hours of in-class instruction and 10 hours of optional field trips and/or homework to prepare participants to become Community Health Workers.
A Community Health Worker (CHW) is a frontline public health worker who bridges the gap between community members and health or social services. CHWs are trusted members of their community with deep knowledge of the community they serve. 15th Night's training prepared participants to leverage their knowledge, cultural responsiveness, and relationships to increase access to care, community, and social services. This ultimately leads to improved health outcomes.
Registered participants will have ongoing access to course materials and class recordings through their cohort portal.
Our next 10-week CHW training will start in January 2027. If you would like to be notified when registration opens, email Beth Miller at bethm@15thnight.org
The cost is $1,500 per participant. Full scholarships are available thanks to the generosity of our community partners, Trillium Community Health Plan and Lane Community College. If you are accepted into the training but not offered a scholarship, you will have the option to pay for the training or drop the course.
