At the Zee Turner Center for Community Health Workers, we believe that a strong, well-supported CHW workforce transforms communities. Our training programs are designed to equip CHWs, CHW look-alike roles, supervisors, and organizations with the skills, confidence, and tools they need to excel in today’s evolving health and social service landscapes. 

Whether you’re just beginning your journey as a CHW, seeking advanced skills, supervising a team, or integrating CHWs into your organization, our training courses offer practical knowledge, real-world strategies, and a supportive learning community. 

We offer a full suite of learning opportunities, including: 

• CHW Core Training – foundational skills for new or emerging CHWs 

• CHW Continuing Education – specialized, advanced, and skills-focused learning 

• Supervisor Training – tools for leading, developing, and supporting CHW staff
