YMCA of Coastal Georgia/Healthy SavannahServing: Chatham County/Savannah, GA
Success:
• Engaged several leaders of partner and non-partner faith-based communities to develop, plan and execute community engagement events to promote COVID-19 and Flu vaccine access, awareness, and acceptance.
• The video provides an excerpt from two community events, held by faith-based partners to promote COVID-19 and Flu awareness.
Challenge:• Expand relationship with faith-based leaders to
include the development of specialized or self-guided training for them, as well as get more faith-based leaders to incorporate COVID information into their weekly sermons. And to carry these messages into secular spaces, such as barber shops, salons, and Black sororities and fraternities
