Muskegon Community Nutrition Instructor

Position Overview
 
As part of the MSUE HNI, with support from the HNI Supervising & Staff Development Educator, District Director and Institute leadership, the Extension Community Nutrition Instructor is responsible for the delivery of nutrition and physical activity education programs.
 
In this role, you will conduct both in-person and virtual/online, or a combination of both, education programming created with a DEI lens, with eligible youth and adult audiences that also supports growth and understanding of critical issues facing these audiences, as defined by federally funded grant programs, including but not limited to SNAP-Ed (Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program Education) and/or EFNEP (Expanded Food and Nutrition Education Program). You will provide policy, system and environmental (PSE) coaching within community sites, maintain community partnerships for programming opportunities, identify and remove barriers from participation, and gather and enter data for impact and evaluation efforts. The overall goal of MSU Extension’s nutrition and physical activity programming is to attain both short-term and long-term goals as defined by the applicable grant that improve nutrition outcomes for eligible audiences throughout Michigan.
 
This position will provide nutrition and physical activity programming in Muskegon County. Coverage area could expand beyond defined coverage area with online programming options. There will be space available to work from either the Muskegon County MSU Extension offices. This position may be eligible to utilize a flexible work environment, however, there is an expectation to work from a MSUE County office. The needs and responsibilities of an individual’s position and office location drive the ability and amount of work-location flexibility.
