Sound Youth VISTA- Hepatitis Education Project
 
 
 
Continue ongoing education on Hepatitis. Develop curriculum consisting of 5 lesson plans that teach hepatitis basics to youth and can be facilitated by existing teachers and outreach site staff. Maintain relationships with existing outreach sites by visiting, scheduling classes and facilitating when necessary. Identify 5-10 teachers and outreach site staff who will facilitate one or more lesson plan and enroll them in the program. Train facilitators to implement one or more of the lesson plans in the newly developed curriculum. Provide ongoing implementation support and program evaluation. Develop updated educational materials for youth related to liver health, safer drug and sex habits, and viral hepatitis to be used by HEP’s direct service staff in conducting outreach either with or without the VISTA member’s new youth curriculum

Member Duties : HEP's AmeriCorps VISTA member will focus on reaching youth in the Greater Seattle area with medically accurate and appropriate information about hepatitis. The VISTA member will engage partner organizations and local high schools to schedule health education sessions and train session facilitators. The member will develop an updated youth curriculum to be used for these sessions. Additionally, the member will produce updated educational materials and additional online and other media outreach tools to be used by HEP staff and partners in conducting youth outreach. The member will develop a simple curriculum to be used by educators including teachers at schools and counselors at transitional living centers to teach youth about liver health and the risks of hepatitis.
