We believe prevention is a key aspect of tackling health disparities and preventive efforts must begin with youth, particularly to create behaviour change and healthy lifestyles. As such, outreach to youth is a key component of American Indian Health Research and Education Alliance. Each ambassador will serve for one year and will be paid for his/her efforts. 4 High School Students (2 male, 2 female; $500/year), 4 college students (2 male, 2 female; $1,000/year), 4 Graduate students (2 male, 2 female; $1,500/year). We plan a competitive application process for the position, with the Executive Community Advisory Board making the final determination. Youth ambassadors will attend events such as pow wows, basketball games, school functions, etc. Ambassadors will promote American Indian Health Research and Education Alliance and AIHREA’s projects.
