E-PHAC is a collaboration between The Ohio State University Extension, the College of Public Health, the College of Education and Human Ecology and the Citizenship Health Institute.
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.
During their service term, (8-12 months), E-PHAC Members receive a living stipend, professional development, student loan forbearance, an education award, and mileage reimbursement.
Extension Public Health AmeriCorps is currently in the process of recruiting individuals from all backgrounds to serve as AmeriCorps Members during the 2024-2025 service year, with ¾ time, ½ time, and reduced ½ time positions available and flexibility to start in September or December 2024.
The deadline to apply for a September start is July 26. For a December start, the deadline is Oct. 11.
