Regional Program Coordinator

San Diego, CA

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

We’re Health Corps – 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 Health Corps, 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.

We’re looking for a creative, friendly, self‑starter who will implement an innovative community‑wide wellness program in San Diego, 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 mentors from local universities to help deliver Health Corps’ 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 an network of individuals and organizations with the common goal of improving the health and wellness of the community.

• Assess Your Community’s Needs and Progress. You will research the health inequities the community you serve are facing and then measure your impact by reporting and tracking work.
• Support Delivery of Health Education Program. You’ll support successful delivery of Health Corps’ program activities and health promoting events across your community throughout the school year. This includes mentor scheduling, supply procurement, and other program logistics.
• Direct Program Delivery. You will often be called upon to directly deliver the Health Corps program in school and community settings, including teaching lessons, hosting educational events, and more.
• Share and Make Aware. You’ll lean‑in to your creative side to support the development and promotion of Health Corps initiatives through social media and Health Corps events. You will support and help contribute to social media platforms (Instagram, Tik Tok, etc.) as well as stakeholder reports and communications that allow your students to shine.
• Commit to the Health Corps Mission. You will prioritize health and wellness daily and ultimately work to ensure that health is accessible for all. Your spark to serve will leave a lasting, positive impact on your community.
