AAFS is proud to participate in the Immigrant Health Academy Program, a community leader training program through Illinois Coalition for Immigrant and Refugee Rights. The program is designed to prepare community members to be health care advocates and leaders, with information sessions including Know Your Rights, how to apply for public benefits, and how to find health insurance. Ten community members from the Arab American community participated in the 2023-2024 program and received a certification to be Immigrant Health Navigators. There are six training sessions throughout the year. Participants are encouraged to educate and empower their communities about health care through attending events and sharing information with families and friends in person and on social media.
