Community Scholars Program
The Community Scholars Program
The primary aim of the Community Scholars Program (CSP) is to provide capacity-building support via educational workshops for public health organizations. Made possible by Northwestern University’s Division of Public Health Practice and Program in Public Health, the CSP workshops cover a range of public health topics and were identified by the Program in Public Health (PPH) community partners through needs assessment activities.
Since the launch of the CSP, two workshops have been hosted every fall, winter, and spring quarter. They are offered to community organizations and institutions that provide public health services. Workshop participants gain knowledge, skills, and resources that nurture their professional development and help their organizations flourish.
Special thanks to our community partners, former scholars, administrative staff and faculty for providing feedback and recommendations that informed program revisions.

Scholar Testimonial
The Community Scholars Program has been a great way to understand core public health structures better, and to develop your understanding of what you already do. I've taken two courses, both of which have helped me dive deeper into public health and nurtured my love for the field."
