What is the ZSFG Health Advocates Program?
The ZSFG Health Advocates Program trains student and community volunteers to conduct standardized social and legal needs screenings with families.
Our dedicated volunteers use resource algorithms and online tools to link families with existing benefits programs (such as CalFresh) or external community organizations (like food pantries and workforce development centers). Your involvement can make a significant impact, especially when dealing with more complex issues such as family mental health concerns or complicated legal challenges.
Join us in connecting families with clinical social workers and/or lawyers, providing additional professional advice and support. Become a Health Advocate and make a positive difference in the lives of those in our community!
