Tell the stories that matter. Get paid to elevate your community's voice in health — through reporting, interviews, and authentic storytelling on a national platform.
Powered by the National Minority Quality Forum, the FYH Community Voices Network combines research, storytelling, and grassroots engagement to ensure underrepresented voices shape the health conversation.
Every story is grounded in data. We connect lived experience to larger health trends and policy conversations that affect real people.
Our correspondents are embedded in the communities they cover — trusted insiders with authentic connections, not outside observers.
Stories published through a platform reaching 3.95M — connecting policymakers, advocates, and health leaders across the country.
We're changing
the narrative —
one community
story at a time.
Many communities never see themselves in mainstream health reporting. Their stories go untold and their needs invisible to decision-makers.
Lived experiences are rarely reflected in the policies that shape healthcare access, quality, and equity across the country.
Real community members telling real stories rebuild trust in health systems and drive meaningful change from the ground up.
Each assignment puts you at the heart of your community — gathering stories that power the national conversation on health equity.
Show up to local health events, town halls, and community gatherings. Be the eyes and ears on the ground.
Talk to community members and capture their authentic health experiences, perspectives, and stories firsthand.
Take photos and short videos with your smartphone to bring community stories to life visually.
Submit recaps, features, or investigative pieces for publication on the FYH national platform and network.
This isn't just a gig. It's a launchpad for your voice, your skills, and your career in health storytelling.
