The RHC/Alive & Well Communities team has had so much fun with our youth ambassadors recently! On Dec. 16, they participated in a "Know Thyself" and "We are more than our experiences" workshop, and on Jan. 6 completed an Advocacy 101 training. Our ambassadors are motivated, engaged in their communities, and ready to activate our vision of ZERO health disparities!
