ABSTRACT
The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic revealed the importance of improving the accessibility of quality public health messaging especially among underserved communities. By establishing a robust communication infrastructure, communities may begin to address the disparities exacerbated by misinformation. In this article, we describe the work done by Worth a Shot, a community-led organization that partnered with trusted, informed county residents; the county residents served as "public health ambassadors" who provided accurate, timely information to their communities in a culturally sensitive approach. This youth-led work may serve as a model for other communities that seek to improve outreach to underserved communities.
