Health Program Manager, Healthy Harlem

In 2005, as a direct response to the public health crisis of obesity in our youth, Harlem Children’s Zone created an effort called the Healthy Living Initiative, which encouraged our students and their families to incorporate healthy food choices and physical activity into their daily lives. In the years since then, we have deepened our work in this area and developed and implemented a strategic program model called Healthy Harlem, which consists of best practices in physical activity, nutrition education, and community support. The program integrates health and wellness into HCZ programs as an all-encompassing approach to encourage healthy lifestyles while also providing targeted support for high-risk youth and their parents/caregivers.

 

We are currently seeking a dynamic, energetic Program Manager to oversee the development, implementation, and evaluation of Healthy Harlem programming at a portfolio of HCZ afterschool programs. This position is part of the Healthy Harlem Core Team and reports to the Director of Healthy Harlem.
