What Coordinators Do

At the heart of HealthCorps^® is its Coordinators. Through the HealthCorps program, the Coordinator becomes a full-time advocate for each HealthCorps site. Each Coordinator works with each individual school site to develop a tailored edition of HealthCorps to meet the needs of the school community.

Dr. Mike Roizen and Dr. Mehmet Oz are proud of the work Coordinators do to improve the health of students.

The HealthCorps Coordinator Defined:

• Educator Coordinators work with teachers before, during, and after school to conduct HealthCorps workshops based on the HealthCorps curriculum.
• Peer-Mentor Coordinators serve as a positive role model for students, as well as a relevant mentor to help students form healthy attitudes, lifestyles, and action plans for life.
• Activist Coordinators work with students to connect classroom learning with community activism. Through service learning and community-based outreach, HealthCorps turns high school students into health educators and socially-aware activists.

HealthCorps Coordinators make a two-year commitment to work full-time in a HealthCorps school. HealthCorps provides a salary-based position, health insurance, travel stipend, and an educational reward at the end of two years of service. HealthCorps also provides continuing professional development and activism opportunities to help Coordinators best serve their school communities.
