2022 Hip Hop Architecture Camp Internship Program. Virtual and In-Person August 8 - August 19, 2022

 

Get Involved: The 2022 Hip Hop Architecture Camp Internship Program

less than 2% of licensed architects in the United States are African American, and the lack of early exposure is one of the many factors why that number remains low. Thanks to our Hip Hop Architecture Camp internship partners, who host one of the top Hip Hop Architecture Camp participants for a paid internship, we are doing work beyond the camp to help raise this low number. If you would like to host one of these amazing middle school or high school students in your office, click the link below to complete the interest form. Our internship coordinator, Woodrow Hoffer, will be in touch! The internships will take place August 8 - August 19, 2022 and will be a mix of virtual and in-person opportunities. Here is our list of current intern hosts and a person from each firm is part of our Internship Advisory Board.

Los Angeles Abilities Expo this weekend (March 4-6) at the Los Angeles Convention Center. March 1, 2022

Dear ECA SoCal members, You are invited to join other ECA members, American Red Cross Volunteers, and Los Angeles Fire Department CERT members at the Los Angeles Abilities Expo this weekend (March 4-6) at the Los Angeles Convention Center. This is a major event with special demonstrations (adaptive sports, inclusive dance performances, and more), a variety of informative workshops each day, and more than 100 exhibitors/vendors providing information, promoting services, and showcasing an amazing array of adaptive equipment, healthcare resources, and many other items. Like other events now resuming, the Expo will follow several safety measures.  As we have in past years, Earthquake Country Alliance will be sharing a large booth area with key partners to provide earthquake preparedness and mitigation information, especially of course our resources for people with disabilities and new materials in many languages. This is a fantastic opportunity to meet and share safety information with participants, but also to learn from them about how we can improve our messaging and approach.  You are welcome to bring your organization’s preparedness materials to distribute too! You are welcome to join us any day or multiple days of the Expo.  The Expo hours are Friday and Saturday from 11am – 5pm, and on Sunday from 11am – 4pm. To help us reach more people, please consider coming on Saturday or Sunday. By having a large team, we all will be able to visit the other booths, attend workshops, and see the demonstrations! If you would like to join us, please email me at sandow@usc.edu for further instructions. We hope to see you there!  Sharon  Sharon Sandow de Groot  Director for Strategic Partnerships Communication, Education, and Outreach Program Southern California Earthquake Center University of Southern California 3651 Trousdale Parkway, ZHS 156B Los Angeles, CA 90089 sandow@usc.edu

Los Angeles. FIRST IN-PERSON CERT Basic Training Class. begin on April 7 and continue every THURSDAY NIGHT FROM 630-9P / 1830-2100 Hours March 1, 2022

This message is being forwarded to my friends who are part of Neighborhood Associations, block clubs, neighborhood councils, and so on. I am happy to announce that Community Emergency Response Team Training is back. We have our first class taking place in our Palms area of the city.

I know many of you have members of your team (or maybe even you) who want to take this training. See below and sign up...quickly. Seating is highly limited and I know we will fill up fast. 

If there are any questions, please feel free to let me know. 

---------- Forwarded message ---------

I am happy to announce that the FIRST IN-PERSON CERT Basic Training Class will be taking place right here in Battalion 18. It's being conducted out the same location where the very LAST in-person class was held prior to COVID-19, the Iman Center in Palms. 

The class will begin on April 7 and continue every THURSDAY NIGHT FROM 630-9P / 1830-2100 Hours. Classes will conclude on May 19, 2022. Please note that the following weekend, a mapping exercise is planned for the Westside Village area which will allow our new graduates to get some time applying their new skills. More is to come on that later. 

Seating in the class is limited as we are still observing social distancing procedures which is a prudent thing. This is a class which has been greatly anticipated for a long time. I ask that previously CERT trained members REFRAIN from signing up for this class. We'd like to leave it for folks especially those coming through our NTP program to take. Previously trained members will have the opportunity as more classes open up down the line. Also, our previously trained members SHOULD be taking advantage of the in-person opportunities such as the monthly pop-ups to sharpen skills. Additionally, PLEASE ONLY SIGN UP FOR THE CLASS IF YOU INTEND TO ATTEND FOR THE FULL DURATION. Again, seating is limited and it is a shame to have seats go empty because folks decided NOT to continue for whatever reason. Just sayin'.

This is a momentous occasion for us and we are very happy to be hosting this first class. If there are any questions, please feel free to let us know. To sign up for the class, use this link: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/lafd-cert-iman-cultural-center-tickets-82852489025

Request for Applications (RFA) for the LBTQ Health Equity Initiative March 1, 2022

View this email in your web browser

March 1, 2022 Climate Change and Health Equity Updates The California Department of Public Health (CDPH) Climate Change and Health Equity Section (CCHES) envisions a state where all Californians thrive in healthy, equitable, and resilient communities. We work to achieve this by building health equity, advancing climate action, and improving living conditions through policies, systems, and environmental changes. Learn more here

 

CDPH OFFICE OF HEALTH EQUITY PROGRAM UPDATES   CDPH Office of Health Equity's Gender Health Equity Unit Announces Funding Opportunity   The Gender Health Equity Unit within the Office of Health Equity (OHE) recently released a Request for Applications (RFA) for the LBTQ Health Equity Initiative: Healthcare Access and Community Outreach Program. This initiative seeks to address the well-documented health inequities experienced by LBTQ Californians that result from a range of challenges, including systemic anti-LBTQ bias, lack of culturally responsive care, and lack of medical services and research tailored to lesbian, bisexual, transgender, and queer women as well as transgender men, non-binary, and gender non-conforming persons. Existing inequities and other factors such as higher rates of poverty and homelessness also put LBTQ people at greater vulnerability to climate-related disasters.   Funding will provide an opportunity to administer community-based projects focused on healthcare access and outreach and education for LBTQ communities. CDPH will fund four contracts comprised of a consortia of community-based partner organizations over a two-year period, with awards totaling approximately $1.9 million per contract. The application deadline is April 22, 2022. Questions can be submitted to LBTQInitiative@cdph.ca.gov and official responses to questions and comments will be posted on the Gender Health Equity Unit's Funding Opportunities page. Read the full RFA for LBTQ Health Equity Initiative Healthcare Access and Community Outreach Program   CCHES Bids Farewell to Team Member Dorette Quintana English   In February 2022, long-time CCHES team member Dorette Quintana English retired from CDPH. Dorette served as a Health Planning and Policy Specialist with CCHES and program manager of the CDC-funded California Building Resilience Against Climate Effects (CalBRACE) project. In her nine years at CDPH, Dorette was a tireless advocate for health equity and the wellbeing of Californians, contributing her unique expertise and knowledge to countless policies, programs, and plans aimed at improving health and building resilience to climate change impacts. The CCHES and OHE team thank Dorette for her service and wish her the very best in the next phase of her journey.
