The coordinator works across 15 to 25 school sites, helps prepare near-peer mentors, and delivers health education in school and community settings. A recent college graduate with youth classroom experience is the intended candidate profile.

HealthCorps is a national nonprofit focused on youth health through education, leadership, and service-learning programming. The position supports the Regional Program Manager and includes occasional evening, weekend, and overnight travel. No application deadline, application contact, or additional benefits are provided by the employer.

The role's program, travel, and screening conditions are set out below.

The role carries background investigations and/or reference checks, and employment depends on clearance. Applicants also need to account for travel within 50 miles of Philadelphia and annual training or retreat travel.

School Health Program Delivery

The coordinator collaborates with universities, community partners, schools, and district staff across the program's school sites. Program work includes health-promoting events, lessons, educational sessions, and community activities during the school year. The role researches community health inequities, tracks work, and reports program results.

Near-peer mentors from area universities lead in-school delivery, while the coordinator supports their recruitment, applications, training, onboarding, scheduling, and ongoing oversight. Mentor schedules, supplies, and program logistics require regular coordination across schools and community locations. The role also supports the Teens Make Health Happen Club and related campus activities.

• Communication And Community Relationships

HealthCorps uses the role for communication with school personnel, universities, families, community partners, and mentors. Written reports, social media activity, stakeholder updates, and program communications are part of the assignment. Relationship-building skills must extend across varied backgrounds, identities, positions, and experiences.

The coordinator balances several program priorities in a changing environment and implements new programming as assigned. Organization, creativity, attention to detail, and collaboration are required alongside strong written and verbal communication. Microsoft Office Suite familiarity is required, and bilingual ability is a plus.

Education And Youth Experience

A bachelor's degree is preferred, although an associate's degree or equivalent years of related experience can meet the education path stated by the employer. Recent college graduation and youth classroom experience are part of the experience profile. The role requires a commitment to mentoring teenagers and building meaningful relationships with students.

Regular travel can reach 50 miles from Philadelphia, and the position includes annual staff training and company retreat travel one or two times each year. Occasional overnight travel and occasional evening or weekend hours are part of the schedule. Remote employee status does not remove the field component.
