Our CHWs bring substantial knowledge based on working and living in their communities. They leverage their personal experience, visit and develop relationships with numerous organizations. They stride to learn more about community services so WPC participants can access them easily. This work is augmented by the One Degree platform which (www.1degree.org) is a free online resource platform that can be used to identify and track community resources for participants. These resources include healthcare, food, employment services, and many other social needs. CHWs use One Degree to identify resources, refer their participants, and track resource engagement(s).
