Your Voice, Your Community: Civic Engagement for CHWs, CHRs & Promotores

You already know how to connect with your community, build trust, and help people find the resources they need. Now, let’s add one more tool to your toolkit!

Join Vot-ER and the Arizona Community Health Workers Association for a nonpartisan training exploring how Community Health Workers and Promotoras can connect their communities with civic engagement resources. 

Together, we’ll explore the connection between civic participation and community health, and share ideas for bringing this work into the conversations and connections you already have with your community.

In this session, you’ll:

•  Learn why civic engagement is part of building healthier communities

•  Get hands-on free Vot-ER tools and resources you can use right away

•  Learn what’s allowed when supporting nonpartisan voter engagement

•  Learn simple ways to bring up voting naturally in your conversations

•  Get ready for National Voter Registration Day and beyond

• 
  

You’ll leave with practical tools, a free Vot-ER badge, and everything you need to get ready for National Voter Registration Day, September 15, 2026.

Let’s make sure everyone who is eligible to vote has the information and resources they need to make their voice heard.

This training is nonpartisan and open to CHWs, Promotoras, health educators, outreach workers, and public health advocates across Arizona.
