The National Minority Quality Forum, a non-profit dedicated to equity and community partnerships. We are currently recruiting barbers and stylists working in minority communities and were hoping your organization could connect us with those who may be interested in participating.
Our HAIR Wellness Warriors program provides education and outreach through barbershops and salons. Barbers and stylists have been vital in our past programs in the dispersion of health information within their communities.
The current focus is on spreading health education about lupus in the DMV area. The barber/stylists will receive free training on how to speak to their clients and community about lupus, which affects 1 in 250 Black women living with lupus.
Program Details:
. $1,500 paid to each stylist/barber
. Paid community health worker certification program for a select few
. Free training surrounding lupus
. 2-year length
Responsibilities:
. Speak to your clients and community about lupus
. Bring awareness to the disease
. Dispel myths
. Time Commitment: 1-5 hours of virtual training and check-in calls.
