  • Assisting with recruitment, training, and support of Smart SNAP Community Champions to expand community reach and reinforce key health messages
  • Supporting multi-level interventions that strengthen nutrition security and improve health outcomes in rural communities combining direct education, community engagement, and environmental supports
  • Collecting, maintaining, and reporting program data in accordance with Purdue Extension and funding agency requirements
  • Administering participant evaluations using approved reporting tools
  • Maintaining proficiency in approved curricula, public health strategies, community engagement approaches, and emerging nutrition and physical activity recommendations
  • Completing program goals and assigned responsibilities with minimal supervision while maintaining timely and accurate records
  • Staying informed of local demographic, community, and health trends to support program planning, outreach, and partnership development
  • Contributing to statewide reporting efforts by documenting program reach, partnership engagement, Community Champion activities, and PSE implementation efforts
  • Contributing to statewide planning efforts and share best practices with regional and statewide colleagues

What We're Looking For:
  • High School Diploma or GED
  • 4 years of experience in community-based work, education, public health, nutrition, physical activity promotion, health promotion, or a related field
  • Ability to communicate effectively in English, including speaking, reading, writing, and comprehension
  • Basic computer proficiency, including Microsoft Word, Excel, Outlook, internet-based applications, and virtual meeting platforms such as Zoom and Microsoft Teams
  • Ability to learn and utilize program reporting systems, data collection platforms, mobile applications, and other technology required for program delivery
