The Extension Public Health AmeriCorps (E-PHAC) is seeking enthusiastic and caring individuals with a desire to improve public health and create positive community change in Ohio.

E-PHAC focuses on public health-oriented service projects in the state. Members work in teams, organized into hubs across the state. They engage community stakeholders, including youth, to determine a public health issue that impacts the community, address it and report the outcomes of the service project. This program is supported by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and AmeriCorps, the federal agency for volunteering and national service.

The deadline to apply for a September start is July 26. For a December start, the deadline is Oct. 11.
