Community Advisory Board

Now Accepting Applications

We’re now accepting applications for our Community Advisory Board, a resident-led research body designed to ensure that community voices, experiences, and priorities are centered as we work to make St. Petersburg healthier and more equitable. The CAB will conduct resident-led and -centered research that will inform and help shape policies, programs, investments, and systems that impact the health of South St. Petersburg residents.
