Welcome to the COVID-19 Community Ambassador Program
With support of the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors, the Department of Public Health (DPH) is proud to offer the Los Angeles County COVID-19 Community Ambassador Program to visibly represent and capture the support of the broader Los Angeles County community’s efforts to further prevent and slow the spread of COVID-19.
Overview
This volunteer program is available to all Los Angeles County residents and will actively engage participants by providing information on the basic principles of infection control, promoting the responsibility of each participant to reduce the spread of COVID-19, and empowering participants as essential partners in the community prevention effort. The program contains video modules, train-the-trainer sessions, and weekly updates in an ongoing effort to provide the latest COVID-19 information. This program emphasizes the importance of community members not only consistently implementing the elements of DPH’s Health Officer Order protocols, but also using core infection prevention practices whenever individuals are in the broader community outside of their households.
