After School Matters
This summer, After School Matters (ASM) will support a teen-driven, multi-modal vaccine promotion campaign. ASM will invite teens in 10 Summer programs to participate in a contest to create original work that promotes their communities’ vaccine confidence, access, and uptake. While teens may be considered non-traditional messengers for public health or vaccine promotion, they are vital messengers for their communities. Programs will promote teens’ work within their communities for hyper-local impact. ASM will further amplify teens’ efforts by featuring their work on ASM’s social media accounts, achieving a truly city-wide impact. ASM will support the Chicagoland Partnership for Equitable Vaccine Distribution through data collection efforts.
