Youth Community Health Worker
Columbia/ Boone County Department of Public Health and Human Services
Shawnee , KS
My name is Alex Stevens, I am 22 years old and from Kansas City, Missouri. I am currently enrolled at the University of Missouri-Columbia pursuing my Bachelor of Health Sciences with an emphasis in Health and Wellness and a minor in Human Developmental Family Sciences. I will graduate in the Spring of 2023 and I plan to attend nursing school.
I have been working at the Columbia/Boone County Department of Public Health and Human Services as a youth community health worker for a year and a half now. During my time with the department, I have had the privilege of weighing in on multiple projects. One of the main aspects of my job is to work as a Teen Outreach Program facilitator at our local high schools and middle schools. Along with that, I provide a youth perspective on our projects and campaigns, sit on our Child Adolescent School Health Committee with the state, work on graphics to promote different health topics, and research topics to better support the youth in our community.
