Zufall Health’s AmeriCorps program is an 11-month program where people volunteer their time by addressing the ongoing barriers for care. AmeriCorps members serve at one of our health centers sites in northern New Jersey. They work through outreach to address individual challenges and health system barriers faced by Zufall's patient population. Our population includes farm workers, people experiencing homelessness, public housing residents, veterans, and people living with HIV/AIDS. Many come from poor, minority communities with significant barriers to accessing health care. Members also deliver health education on topics including chronic diseases like diabetes, asthma and HIV/AIDS, prevention of childhood obesity through nutrition and exercise, proper oral health, wellness programs and access to health insurance. AmeriCorps members do not provide health services related to prohibited activities.
The AmeriCorps Public Health program begins September 1st, 2026 until August 3, 2027. Applications close on September 28, 2026.
