Regional Program Coordinator

at HealthCorps

Phoenix, AZ

Are you interested in serving your community and empowering the next generation of healthy leaders? HealthCorps and our mission to improve the lives of youth both mentally and physically provide you the opportunity to do just that.

Who We Are

We’re HealthCorps – a national non-profit organization committed to improving lives by addressing health challenges in communities through programming that includes innovative and engaging experiences for teens in education, leadership, and service learning. We empower teens by encouraging them to become change agents within their families, schools, and neighborhoods. Our program is grounded in the understanding that limited access to health education can lead to a lifetime of social, emotional, and physical challenges.

At HealthCorps, our values are the foundation of everything we do. We’re driven by our mission, embrace an innovative and solutions-focused mindset, and believe that our people are our greatest strength. We thrive on collaboration, and we’re committed to fostering an inclusive environment that respects and reflects the varied backgrounds, experiences, and perspectives of our team members and the communities we serve.

Where You Fit In

We’re looking for a creative, friendly, self-starter who will implement an innovative community-wide wellness program in Phoenix, AZ, that empowers teens to make healthier choices for themselves and their families. You’ll serve as a catalyst for sustainable change, promoting improved health and wellness within schools and the broader communities.

As a Regional Program Coordinator, you will support a team of Regional Program Managers as they train, deploy, and supervise near-peer college mentors from area universities to help deliver HealthCorps’ proven program in local middle schools. The program consists of health-promoting events including our Teens Make Health Happen Club, health-promoting campus activities, and community events. You will engage current and potential community stakeholders, including school, district, and university staff, as well as strategic program partners, student wellness officers, and local alumni, to develop a network of individuals and organizations with the common goal of improving the health and wellness of the community.

What You’ll Do

Responsibilities:

1. Develop Strong Relationships. Collaborate with local universities, community partners, schools, and district staff to ensure effective delivery of health and wellness programming across 20–30 school sites.
2. Build and Lead a Team. Support the recruitment, application, training, onboarding, and ongoing oversight of near-peer mentors leading in-school program delivery.
3. Assess Your Community’s Needs and Progress. Research the health inequities faced by the community you serve and measure your impact through reporting and tracking work.
4. Support Delivery of Health Education Program. Assist in the successful delivery of HealthCorps’ program activities and health-promoting events throughout the school year, including mentor scheduling, supply procurement, and logistics.
5. Direct Program Delivery. Deliver the HealthCorps program directly in schools and community settings, including teaching lessons and hosting educational events.
6. Share and Make Aware. Support the development and promotion of HealthCorps initiatives via social media and events, contributing to platforms like Instagram and TikTok, as well as stakeholder reports and communications.
7. Commit to the HealthCorps Mission. Prioritize health and wellness daily, working to ensure health is accessible for all and leaving a positive impact on the community.

Qualifications:
