Upstream Academy

In Fall 2024, a new cohort of Youth Ambassadors will begin an advocacy training curriculum that will last for one year. The curriculum covers some public health basics related to commercial tobacco prevention, weight inclusion, polysubstance use, and nutrition, as well as advocacy, resume building and more.

The Upstream Academy curriculum designers are Hudda Osman and Haoua Dogo. This work could not happen without support from IRCO/Africa House, Oregon Health Authority, and Multnomah County’s REACH program.
