AmeriCorps Health Educator (7-10 hr/week)

About the organization: HealthCorps is a national non-profit organization working to eliminate health inequity and improve lives by educating and empowering teens - encouraging them to become change agents within their families, schools, and neighborhoods.

Believing that limited access to health education can lead to a lifetime of social, emotional, and physical challenges, HealthCorps strives to strengthen teens with innovative approaches to health and wellness. We provide today's youth with the tools to become more physically and mentally resilient through educational programming, leadership experience and service learning.

About the role: In support of the mission of HealthCorps, the AmeriCorps Teens Make Health Happen Coordinator will partner with assigned schools to establish health priorities and deliver HealthCorps' wellness curriculum to students. You will engage school, district, and community stakeholders that have a common goal of improving the health and wellness of the school and community. This is an exciting opportunity to bring our nationally established curriculum to the Cleveland community!
