Another way to differentiate between promotora and outreach workder is the following:
Promotores are chosen because they are members of the target community. Typically, they get on the job training to handle a particular task. While many do outreach and education others work inside a clinic or institution and provide a variety of services such as translation. Many promotores, even when paid, are not full time staff. Some receive salaries others receive stipends and some get no compensation at all. By contrast outreach workers tend to be full-time paid staff (even if they only work for part of the year). They may or may not be members of the target community.
