Best Practices Hiring & Retention Guide for Increasing African American Home Visiting Staff (Updated)

The primary goal of the African American Home Visitation Engagement Workgroup is to increase the enrollment and retention of African American families. Recognizing that having a workforce that is reflective of the communities served is key to diverse client engagement, we developed The Best Practices Hiring Guide & Retention for Increasing African American Home Visiting Staff. If an editable version of the recruitment poster and social media graphics are needed to please email Consortium staff at LACPECHVC_Coordinator@LABestBabies.org.
