ACCHO’s Strategy Worker Onboarding Guide

Strategy Worker Onboarding Guide

The Ask

The African and Caribbean Council on HIV/AIDS in Ontario (ACCHO) is a provincial organization that provides strategic leadership in response to HIV/AIDS in Ontario’s African, Caribbean, and Black (ACB) communities. ACCHO works collaboratively with government partners, healthcare providers, and community-based organizations to advance health equity through education, advocacy, research, and culturally grounded programming.

At the heart of ACCHO’s mission is a commitment to centering Black communities in the design of health solutions — ensuring that every strategy, message, and initiative reflects lived experience and community-defined priorities.

Through its Capacity Building Program, ACCHO supports a network of Strategy Workers across Ontario who are responsible for implementing the ACB HIV Strategy within their local contexts.

To strengthen this critical network, ACCHO approached See Girl Work to create a comprehensive onboarding guide that would orient new Strategy Workers to their roles, deepen their understanding of ACCHO’s mission, and serve as a long-term resource for day-to-day tasks.

The guide needed to be practical, visually engaging, and aligned with ACCHO’s brand identity — all while maintaining accessibility and readability for a diverse professional audience.

The Solution

Working closely with the ACCHO team, See Girl Work developed a fully branded interactive Strategy Worker Onboarding Guide designed for digital use. The project’s goal was to create a publication that went beyond orientation and act as a tool that empowered Strategy Workers to confidently represent ACCHO’s work and values in the communities they serve.

Our design team applied ACCHO’s brand guidelines while enhancing the visual system for improved readability and engagement. Using the organization’s official typefaces (Josefin for headings and Lato for body text), we refined the layout with clear typographic hierarchy, modern icons, and consistent spacing.

The guide was structured for easy navigation, including hyperlinks to key websites, downloadable resources, and audiovisual materials that enrich the learning experience.

To make the guide more visually dynamic, we introduced thoughtful design elements and a polished information architecture. The use of ACCHO’s brand palette was complemented by strategic white space, section dividers, and subtle visual cues that make the document approachable while maintaining professionalism.

Every visual choice was made with accessibility in mind, ensuring legibility across devices and readability for users with varying levels of digital literacy.

In addition to layout and design, See Girl Work provided content refinement to strengthen clarity, flow, and user experience. Each section — from understanding ACCHO’s strategic framework to outlining key partnerships and reporting structures — was arranged to help new Strategy Workers understand their role within a larger ecosystem of health equity and HIV prevention. The final guide was delivered as a digital-first PDF optimized for online viewing and interactive use.

The Results

The ACCHO Strategy Worker Onboarding Guide became an essential tool in building organizational consistency, strengthening knowledge transfer, and aligning Strategy Workers under a unified mission. The polished design and intuitive layout made it easier for users to access critical information quickly, while the interactive features created a more engaging, user-friendly experience.

By combining strategic design with cultural awareness, See Girl Work helped ACCHO translate a complex framework into an accessible resource that reflects professionalism, care, and community.

The guide not only streamlined onboarding processes but also reinforced ACCHO’s leadership in creating equitable health communication tools tailored for African, Caribbean, and Black communities.

Today, the Onboarding Guide stands as both a practical reference and a reflection of ACCHO’s values — community-driven, data-informed, and dedicated to improving the health outcomes of Black Ontarians through collaboration, representation, and empowerment.
