SCHMF has been conducting leadership, education, and training programs targeting under served communities of color for the last twenty years. Our programs began with the Exceptional Women of Color Conference (EWOC) and have expanded to include the Young Women's Summit and Scholarship Program (YWS), Black Physicians Forum and Medical Student Scholarship Program (BPF), Sacramento Community Book Forum, Black History Month Business Mixer, Reducing African American Childhood Death (RAACD) Black Child Legacy Campaign, Sisters Saving Sisters (SSS) Breast Cancer Prevention and Transportation Hub, Health Access Education Program (launched from our initial Affordable Care Act Education Program), and social media training programs. Each initiative is focused on achieving at least one of our core mission objectives, builds on our success, and responds to the feedback from participants, community surveys, and community leaders.
SCHMF programs bring together communities of color to help them recognize the talent and resources that already exist in the community. This creates further opportunities for members to build stronger relationships and common solutions for problems the community faces. In order to improve the length and quality of life of African Americans solutions that address the social determinants of health are needed and must be supported by a broad base of partners to create sustainable change. SCHMF is helping to build those relationships and inform community members across northern California.
SCHMF, in partnership with its sister organization the Sacculturalhub.com Media Company (SCHMC), is recognized for its achievements in disseminating information on entertainment, education, health, and entrepreneurship. SCHMC serves as a bridge addressing the digital divide that can prevent information from being spread to low-income and underserved ethnic communities. SCHMC is Northern California's only multi level urban media outlet that has been successful in attracting a loyal fan base of readers/users that visit and bookmark the website as well as subscribe to THE HUB Magazine. Sacculturalhub.com receives over two million hits per month with 25,000 unique visitors each month. THE HUB Magazine (published through SCHMC) is a quarterly print publication that reaches 500,000 readers in Northern California and is distributed via mail and 60 business distribution sites. The audience is 75% female and 25% male; and 85% African American and 15% other ethnicities.
SCHMF and Sacculturalhub.com Media Company utilizes a team of content area expert consultants to achieve our goals. Our eight consultant skills include: business administration, broadcast and print media, social media, advertising, marketing, event planning, program development, and education. They are innovative individuals that work tirelessly to bring quality programs to Californians. Their diverse skills allow us to seamlessly create synergy among the various communication channels and programs.
The Sac Cultural Hub Media Foundation (SCHMF) mission is to utilize cooperative measures to develop and implement health, leadership, and advocacy programs that educate, empower, and train communities of color in underserved communities.
