    California Caregivers

    Home health workers, mainly women and people of color, are vital to California’s healthcare. This series celebrates these CA Caregivers by documenting their lived experiences. This work is part of a collaboration with The California Department of Aging’s CalGrows program, which offers free online training for caregivers to gain valuable skills for career advancement, and if eligible can earn $6000 stipends. Time is running out as the program ends in August 2024.
